Louisiana Emergency Response Network LERN assists hospitals and emergency response teams by coordinating delivery of patients to the most

The Louisiana Emergency Response Network (LERN) is an agency of state government created by the Louisiana Legislature in 2004 charged with the responsibility of developing and maintaining a statewide system of care coordination for patients suddenly stricken by serious traumatic injury or time-sensitive illness (such as heart attack and stroke). It is a system also designated to serve as a vital healthcare resource in the face of larger scale emergencies and natural disasters. Getting to the right place at the right time to receive the right care is a matter of life or death for these patients.

➡️ Students: Stay alert around buses and always wait for your driver’s signal before crossing.
➡️ Parents: Talk with your children about safe behaviors at the bus stop.

✅ Always buckle up, every trip, every time
📵 Keep phones down and eyes on the road
🚫 Never drive impaired or ride with someone who is
🚗 Follow the speed limit and drive responsibly
