Public Health
Creating and Sustaining a Healthier Life
At the SU Ag Center, we believe that every person in Louisiana should have the opportunity to live a healthy, fulfilling life. At the heart of our public health initiatives is a commitment to fostering healthier communities through comprehensive, accessible, and holistic health programs. In a state known for its rich culture and tight-knit communities, we believe in empowering individuals with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to make informed decisions about their health, leading to a more vibrant and resilient society that thrives in every parish, every city, and every community across our great state.
"Health is the goal, and wellness is the active process of achieving it."
Physical health is defined by how well your body functions. This is influenced by diet, exercise, sleep, and healthy choices like avoiding drug or alcohol use.
Mental health influences how you think, feel, and act. It predicts how you cope with life stressors in your daily life.
Social health is defined by your ability to have positive interactions with others. This is influenced by the quality of your relationships with family, friends, and others around you.
