Terrebonne General Awarded LHA 2022 Safety Grant to Enhance Lung Screening Program

Houma, LA – June 2022 –Terrebonne General Health System is a proud recipient of the 2022 Funds for Safety Grant program. Funds for Safety is a grant program sponsored by Louisiana Hospital Association (LHA) Trust Funds. Each year, they award up to $300,000 in grant funding for new initiatives to improve patient safety.
