About LeadingAge Gulf States
Vision, Mission, Purpose and Commitment
We envision a long-term care system which offers accessible, affordable, high-quality and innovative health care, housing and community services. This system provides value to the senior population of Louisiana and Mississippi and their families--accomplished through personal and professional commitment, in a compassionate manner, supported by benevolence and integrity. We respect diversity along the continuum of care and are socially responsible and accountable for promoting excellence in long-term care and support services. Our mission is to represent the interests of our members and the populations they serve, with integrity and dedication, while promoting the Association's vision through ethical leadership, advocacy, education and informational resources.
