Our Background
The Pointe Coupee Health Services District № 1 (PCHSD) is a subdivision of the State of Louisiana and Parish of Pointe Coupee, created pursuant to statute by the Pointe Coupee Parish Police Jury (PCPPJ) to provide for and administer health services and facilities for the citizens of Pointe Coupee Parish. In 1985, the PCHSD, together with the South Louisiana Hazelden Alumni Foundation, was most fortunate in obtaining a federal block grant for this project from the State of Louisiana, Office of Alcohol and Drug Abuse. In support of these efforts, the PCPPJ authorized the use of 5% of the avails of a 1¢ renewed sales tax levied and collected within the confines of the parish, thereby enabling these programs to continue.
