Formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the section of Community Pediatrics and Global Health evolved into a long-term investment in the future of New Orleans by bringing high-quality compassionate care directly to the city’s youngest and most vulnerable residents.
We are a “mobile team” who goes out into the community in order to provide primary care at three clinics in the Greater New Orleans area. We also provide asthma education and clinical management at school-based health centers. Our biggest goal is to provide care to the most vulnerable children in this region. We take immense pride in being advocates in our community and in the Gulf South for providing standard of care primary care services to immigrant and refugee children.
