The Lincoln Parish Police Jury would like to invite residents from the parish to come join the grand opening of the new Lincoln Parish Health Hub and Humanitarian Enterprises of Lincoln Parish (H.E.L.P.) Agency building at 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 1, 2025, on Mills Street in Ruston, just north of Northern Louisiana Medical Center.
The project has been planned for three years at a cost of around $9 million. Layout-wise, the new 12,500 square foot main Health Hub building will house the Health Unit on the east side of the main building and the Health Hut on the west side with a shared reception space and break rooms in between. The Health Hub building will house the Lincoln Parish Health Unit, Health Hut, Parish Sanitarian offices and support spaces.
The building will feature multiple examination rooms, storage areas and a large demonstration kitchen for WIC services. Separated by a shared parking lot, the new 3,500 square foot HELP Agency building will house the HELP Agency, Coroner’s office and other support spaces.
From the Health Hut Webpage: “The Health Hut” is a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve the medical needs for the underserved adult population in and around Lincoln Parish through mobile medical care. A casual conversation with a board member of the Lincoln Health Foundation led to the creation of The Health Hut by Dr. Leonel Lacayo and his wife Lisa Lacayo in 2011. The Lacayo’s took a great interest in serving those who could not afford medical care and had limited means of transportation. Today their legacy lives on as The Health Hut continues to provide easy access for complete primary care services to all areas of Lincoln Parish. The Health Hut also is a provider for Louisiana Medicaid.
From the H.E.L.P Agency Webpage: The H.E.L.P. Agency is an organization that is under the umbrella of the Lincoln Parish Police Jury. We assist low income individuals and families with utility assistance, rent, transportation, and much more. We pride ourselves in being an agency that lends a helping hand to the citizens of Lincoln Parish with a friendly, homely approach. We uphold the beliefs of our mission statement, which is “To Encourage, To Inspire, To Love And To Restore Through Service”.
