Operation USA is the proud recipient of the Louisiana Primary Care Association’s annual Guardian Award for service to Louisiana’s uninsured and underinsured populations.

“As a staunch supporter of LPCA and the state’s Federally Qualified Health Centers, we would like to commend you for your efforts when natural disasters affected Louisiana.  Your organization was one of the first professional responders on the ground with medical supplies and equipment.”

“As our emergency phase slowly lessened, we were sincerely grateful that Operation USA made grants available to our FQHCs to help them build their capacity to meet their communities’ basic needs. Because of your steadfast commitment, it has been years since our Hurricanes abated, and your organization continues to provide assistance to Louisiana.”
