## Resource

Northern Louisiana Medical Center is under fire after a damning report from federal health regulators flagged 24 serious issues across 30 patient cases — risking loss of Medicare funding by 2026 if fixes aren’t made. The hospital’s corrective plan remains secret, sparking alarm from Senator Jay Morris and local officials. Its operator, Allegiance Health Management, is already struggling financially despite massive rural health funding, and a staff exodus is crippling emergency services and regional healthcare. The Lincoln Parish Police Jury had flagged this as a major barrier to economic growth — with healthcare seen as the missing piece. Meanwhile, Willis-Knighton Health’s upcoming $50 million medical center may offer some relief to the area’s strained system.
