We assess the needs of each Louisiana community that we visit and tailor our services to best meet those needs. We offer free, basic, non-emergency health services and preventive health screenings.

HEALTH EDUCATION IS ALWAYS A HIGH PRIORITY
We spend time helping clients to help them better understand their disease process and how to best manage it. We share healthy lifestyle changes and ways for individuals to take care of their health, and the health of their family members. We hope that this information and these tools empower people to make healthier choices.

REFERRALS
Although many community services are available, it is often difficult to know where to go for what type of help. We work hard to understand the services that are available in our community and work closely with these community agencies so as not to duplicate efforts. When we find someone that needs follow-up care and they do not know where to go, we help them navigate through the list of services and find the best ones to meet their needs.
OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED
