Choose Healthy Life Initiative

United Way of Southeast Louisiana is a proud implementation partner in the nationwide health equity program, Choose Healthy Life (CHL). CHL is a coalition-driven initiative that involves establishing a permanent public health workforce in Black churches to support COVID-19 response work and addressing other health disparities in these communities. The CHL National Black Clergy Health Leadership Council, co-chaired by Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Calvin Butts, works to increase vaccination rates and address health disparities through direct outreach efforts led by the Black church, the oldest and most trusted institutions in the Black community.
