Rounds to look at
I found no open or upcoming round in Louisiana on the last review. That can change quickly, so call the state program office and ask what is next.
What the state review found, as of Nov 7, 2026
Every round on the state's funding page is a Year 1 round whose deadline has passed, and the Rural Clinician Credit Bank shows applications under review. I found no current window.

What CMS has announced for Louisiana
Funding is one part of the job
A round in Louisiana can pay for the work. It cannot give you an owner, a plan your board trusts, or a go-live your staff believe in. That is the work I do with community and rural hospitals.
Thirty minutes, confidential, no cost.
