Monroe, LA (PRWEB) April 11, 2014 -- Northeast Delta Human Services Authority (Northeast Delta HSA) and Franklin Parish Hospital Service District 1 announced today the creation of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to collaboratively serve citizens in Franklin Parish.

Northeast Delta HSA will accept appropriate referrals from Franklin Parish Hospital Service District 1 to provide major mental health and/or substance abuse disorder services. Franklin Parish Hospital Service District 1 will accept appropriate referrals from Northeast Delta HSA to provide primary health and dental care services to patients who do not require services for serious mental illnesses.

“This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to provide in-depth behavioral health care services to the citizens of Franklin Parish,” said Dr. Sizer. “Behavioral health clients who may not otherwise consider primary health services will have access to the care they need.”
