Tulane University Community Health Center will put the $50K toward construction costs of our new location to expand quality medical services to more patients in a new, healthy environment. The new location is 3.5 times the size of our current clinic, and will be LEED certified.

What is TUCHC?
TUCHC is dedicated to improving the health of our New Orleans neighbors by providing high-quality, cost-effective, neighborhood-based care to all, regardless of insurance status. We have offered quality primary care and mental health services since our meager beginnings as a first aid station in Sept 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. We actively train the next generation of health professionals, and partner with the community to develop innovative models of care. TUCHC recognizes that health is more than getting a person to a doctor, thus offers supportive services and provides a team-based approach to care. Activities to occur at the new location include a Community Room for community meetings, exercise classes and educational forums so patients can develop lifeskills for success. The focus is to keep people healthy so they can contribute to a more equitable and thriving New Orleans.


TUCHC will be awarded $50,000 the first week of July--if we receive the most votes!
Online voting runs now through May 31, 2010. You are not restricted on the number of times you can vote.
