LPHA Conference Shines Light on Public Health Leaders


Louisiana public health leaders shined at the Louisiana Public Health Association’s (LPHA) Annual Educational Conference held April 5-6, 2023, at the Crowne Plaza Executive Center. The LPHA conference celebrated its 73rd year of bringing together Louisiana’s top public health leaders and curious early-career professionals to learn and discuss emerging trends impacting public health and formulate the best strategies to help to address current and future public health challenges.

Louisiana Department of Health Office of Public Health’s Assistant Secretary Doris Brown opened the conference by acknowledging Louisiana’s public health leaders during what she calls “one of the toughest times in Louisiana's public health history”, all while continuing to provide day-to-day public health services to the communities they serve. “Over the past two years we have endured and persevered through hurricanes, tornadoes, [the] opioid crisis, COVID-19…simultaneously,” Doris Brown stated. “Thank you all for your perseverance and your resilience.”

LPHA was also pleased to recognize its 2023 LPHA Award Recipients for their extraordinary contributions to improving the health of Louisianans:

2023 Founders Award, Dr. MarkAlain Dery

2023 Louise McFarland Award for Excellence in Public Health Communication, Theresa Sokol

2023 Meritorious Award, Janet Merritt

2023 Public Service Award, Senator Regina Barrow

2023 Member Award, Dr. Jude Haney

In addition, the 2020 Meritorious Award Recipient, Doris Brown, and 2020 Member Award Recipient, Anna Goodwill, who were unable to be recognized due to the COVID-19 pandemic were also acknowledged. 

LPHA awards promote merit in public health by recognizing individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to supporting and sponsoring movements and policies that impact the health of citizens in Louisiana. The recipients exemplify the highest standards of public health professionals and serve as inspirational leaders to LPHA: they embody the core values of service and are committed to public health.
