Louisiana’s Community Health Center Legislative Day 2026

Join the Louisiana Primary Care Association, Community Health Centers from across the state, and community partner organizations for our 2026 Louisiana Community Health Center Legislative Day at the State Capitol! Meet with your state legislators, take action on proffered bills, and show the power of Community Health Centers and the work you do!

LPCA has reserved 12 tables in the Capitol Rotunda for Health Centers who would like to set up their own table items and information. The rotunda opens at 8 AM for set up.
Please utilize the registration page to secure a table in the rotunda–one table will be reserved per Health Center.

AGENDA

• Registration and Breakfast at the Claiborne Building – Located at 1201 N 3rd St, Baton Rouge, LA, the Claiborne Conference Center will be our check-in location for attendees to receive their t-shirts and any materials you may need for the day. You may also want to grab breakfast here after setting up in the Capitol Rotunda.
• Legislative Overview – Review our 2026 policy priorities and the current legislation that will be up for debate or that we plan to take action on. You will receive all of your necessary guides, maps, and information at this morning meeting, so be sure you do not miss out!
• Scheduled Meetings & Committee Hearings at the Capitol – Head over to the Louisiana State Capitol, just a short walk from the Claiborne Building, and either sit in on committee meetings covering Louisiana healthcare, workforce, and more, or attend scheduled meetings. All scheduled meetings will be Invite Only.
• Lunch in the Rotunda – LPCA will provide a boxed lunch to all attendees. It is important that you ensure your registration is accurate and that you let us know if you cannot attend so that we have enough food for everyone!
• Photo on the Capitol Steps – Join us on the steps of the Capitol for a quick photo opportunity following lunch!
• Recognition on the House & Senate Floor – Be recognized by the House & Senate as they convene on their respective floors for the afternoon to provide final discussion and votes on legislation
