A Baton Rouge nonprofit is set to enhance its mission of providing healthcare services to underserved communities with the acquisition of a new mobile unit. Metro Health Education, established in 1990 to address AIDS education and prevention, has evolved to offer a wider array of healthcare services. With the aid of a $50,000 grant from Aetna Better Health of Louisiana, the organization will replace its current mobile unit with a wheelchair-accessible one, catering to individuals with mobility challenges. The new unit will enable Metro Health Education to continue its outreach efforts, delivering tests for various sexually transmitted diseases, vaccinations, health education, and wellness checks to locations in need across the community. The expansion comes as a significant development for the nonprofit, which has steadily grown its impact and team over the years. Shirley Lolis, co-founder of Metro Health Education, expressed gratitude for the grant, which will help the organization better serve its community and address critical healthcare needs effectively.
