News Briefs Louisiana to Lead in Health TrainingAugust 28, 2002 Louisiana State University is one of 11 US universities to receive a federal grant to help health care professionals deal with AIDS. President Bush's health care policy director, former University of Louisiana System President Bobby Jindal, returned Thursday to Baton Rouge to present a ceremonial check for $1.25 million for HIV training. The money will go to the LSU medical, nursing and dental schools to train health care providers how to care for patients with HIV. "It is a wonderful opportunity for LSU to continue to [work with] education providers to improve the quality of care and to reduce the tremendous human and financial impact of this disease," Jindal said. There are about 6,000 HIV cases in Louisiana, 70 percent of which are among minorities. LSU officials said more than 80 percent of the cases are treated by the state's ten LSU hospitals.
