August 20, 2021
To say that the past 18 months have been challenging would be an understatement;
however, throughout this unprecedented pandemic, you all have stepped
up and found ways to work together to continue to care for our community.
We can all be proud of what we have accomplished together as a leader in
tough times and our community continues to look to us all for guidance,
strength and reassurance.
As you are aware, the COVID Delta Variant has become prevalent across Louisiana
and healthcare is again on the frontlines. Currently, our COVID cases
continue to climb at an exceeding fast pace. In an effort to protect our
patients, staff, and physicians, several precautions have been put in place.
Our policies and processes that were in place prior have been reinstituted.
Masks are mandated for all, along with patient visitation limited per
our prior policy. At this time, the DELTA Variant has shown to be highly
contagious and easily transmittable, so please assure that mask and hand
washing precautions are adhered to. We continue to offer the vaccine for
all staff during work or after, please call Teresita McNabb at 873-4664
to schedule.
Our main goal is to keep our patients and staff safe at all times. Please
know that I truly appreciate all you do and your continued dedication
and perseverance as we face this new COVID challenge again!

BATON ROUGE, La. – In response to the critical staffing shortages
in acute care hospitals in the fourth surge of COVID-19, the Louisiana
Department of Education (LDOE) in partnership with Louisiana Department
of Health (LDH) today opened the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP)
to support essential hospital personnel in Tier 1 or 2 hospital settings.
These families can access subsidized care for children age 12 and under
at Type III licensed childcare centers, or through registered and certified
family childcare and in-home providers for 12 months by simply completing an
applicationand providing a signed letter of employment and title.
Effective today, families of essential hospital personnel in Tier 1 or
2 hospital settings are eligible for CCAP and their applications will
be expedited. Essential hospital personnel include the following titles:
· Nurses, LPN, RN, APRN
· Nursing Assistants - Medical Assistants, Aides, Personal Care
Attendants
· Therapists - OT, PT, Respiratory
· Mental Health, Social Worker, Counselors
· Emergency Medical Technicians

· Other employees that provide direct care
As of now, applications will be accepted through October 31, 2021. Interested
families must complete the
CCAP Pandemic Protective Services Crisis Application and submit a signed letter on hospital letterhead verifying title and
employment.
Upon approval, certification for childcare services will be valid for 12
months. The Department will reassess applications as it continues to monitor the need.
If essential hospital personnel need care during hours that do not fit
traditional child care center hours such as night time care, they may
have someone become a
CCAP certified in-home provider and come into their home to provide care.
