The Bayou Country Children’s Museum recently partnered with Healthy Blue Louisiana and received sponsorship for the Build a Better Bridge exhibit.
The Build a Better Bridge exhibit brings awareness to the many types of bridges that exist in the bayou region. It encourages creative play as children are able to build beam, arch, suspension and cable style model bridges. “We are thrilled to partner with Healthy Blue Louisiana in this way. Partnerships such as these help to ensure that our exhibits remain inviting to children and continue to teach valuable lessons.” says Rebekah Richoux -Quinn, the museum’s Executive Director.
Healthy Blue Louisiana’s commitment to the children of the bayou region is modeled here by their generous sponsorship of this exhibit. “There may be a belief that Medicaid benefits coordinators like Healthy Blue Louisiana only support efforts that address the physical aspects of health, but we know that an individual’s unique life experiences can impact their overall health and lives, especially during youth, so we champion efforts that comprehensively address physical, mental and social health, including those that create opportunities for youth to learn, grow and thrive,” said Dr. Christy Valentine Theard, President of Healthy Blue Louisiana. “Bayou Country Children’s Museum is aligned in our mission, and we are proud to work alongside a dedicated partner that is creating positive opportunities for youth and promoting a better, healthier future for our children.”
