Leadership

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share with you the 2023 Impact report, highlighting the “heart” work that our 250 team members undertake across the State as we collectively endeavor to make a life of purpose and independence possible for the 10,325 individuals we support. In this report, you will see program spotlights, including features on our new Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program, and our Chartwell Autism Center. You will also find participant stories that truly capture and convey the depth and breadth of Easterseals Louisiana’s (ESL) reach and impact.

These are just a few glimpses of the hundreds of Real-World Engagements, Early Childhood Development successes, Transformative Supportive Housing, Nourishment and Recovery, Community Reintegration, and Adaptive, Responsive Participant Care. These stories serve to underpin and amplify our ESL organizational beliefs, which are part of the ESL Organizational Compass shared on the next page. In these pages, you will also find highlights related to participant satisfaction, value-added community initiatives, regional impact, awareness campaigns, and legislative efforts.

At Easterseals Louisiana we are committed to elevating our communities and using our voice to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people’s lives every day! Thank you for your continued support and belief in Easterseals Louisiana.

With gratitude,


tgsign

Tracy Garner, ESL President & CEO
