Governor John Bel Edwards has been traveling the state to talk about Medicaid Expansion. He stopped in Shreveport at the David Raines Health Center along with DHH Secretary Dr. Rebekka Gee. Governor Edwards and Secretary Gee are touring the state on the “Close the Gap” Campaign. David Raines Community Health Centers (DRCHC) is an active participant in the existing Medicaid program and looks forward to being a part of the expansion.

“We are a provider committed to increasing access to quality health care and improving the lives of North Louisiana residents,” says Willie White III, DRCHC CEO.
