Wilmington, DE - On Wednesday, March 26, AstraZeneca will announce its plans to provide free medications to limited to moderate-income people in Louisiana through a community access program that currently serves eighteen parishes in the state.

The service area will include Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Caldwell, Catahoula, Desoto, Evangeline, Grant, Jackson, Jefferson Davis, LaSalle, Natchitoches, Rapides, Red River, Sabine, Vernon, Winn Parishes.
