JCAHO Public Notice

"Thirty Years... An accomplishment worth celebrating!"

Truly, what began as a noble initiative born out of then President Lyndon B. Johnson’s war on poverty, Teche Action Clinic as a community health center has withstood the tests of time and has evolved into what the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has recognized as the best venue to deliver all the elements that represents the best health care in America.

Teche Action Clinic has been on the “cutting edge” in the delivery of health care in Louisiana with many firsts: the first Community Health Center, the first to achieve JCAHO, the first residency affiliation, the first to assume a public health unit, a pilot program on prevention, the first to have a Nurse Practitioner, the first to have a Diabetic Educator. TAC stands proudly on its past accomplishments; works continuously on improving its present services; and plans ambitiously to expand medical care to surrounding parishes. Indeed as TAC stands on the threshold of even greater achievements, we promise to hold true to our mission and vision of providing access to quality, culturally competent, primary and preventive care in a barrier free environment.

We would like to graciously thank you for viewing our site, and hope that you will join us in another thirty years of excellence in comprehensive healthcare!
