With our community’s investment, we will transform a new community health center that truly reflects the care and compassion we see every day in the New Orleans area.
Our vision for a healthier community
Our vision is to be a community where everyone is healthy. The Campaign for CrescentCare will transform a new community health center in New Orleans’ MidCity. The new location will present these opportunities:
Nearly doubled impact. Our new MidCity community health center will increase our capacity by 40% from our previous clinic.
More care to patients. The new 33,000 sq. ft. comprehensive community health center in MidCity will offer primary care, pediatrics, behavioral health, sexual health, labs, and pharmacy for children and adults.
Even better service. In the new community health center, CrescentCare will offer more privacy for patients, lower wait times, improved access, and higher levels of care at an affordable cost - in a beautiful environment surrounded by curated art donated from local artists.
Conserve community resources. By expanding capacity, the new community health center will provide a better, more cost-effective

"She saved my life"
Paul Doolan taught U.S. history for 30 years and has been a New Orleans Tour Guide. On December 31, 2012, Paul was rushed to the hospital with extreme medical issues and soon found out he was HIV+. Several months later, CrescentCare Physician Dr. Nicholas Van Sickles was able to prescribe Paul the drug Atripla, and 3 months later he was undetectable. Paul then began working with CrescentCare Nurse Practioner Pat Gootee, his “angel," for several years. Pat then introduced Paul to CrescentCare’s Sharon Norman, who he said “saved his life.” Paul later went on to have a transplant and became too ill to continue being a tour guide in the years to come, and was then introduced to CrescentCare Legal Services Attorney Jesse Lind who successfully set him up to begin receiving social security. Paul also worked with CrescentCare Attorney Josh Holmes who helped him create a medical power of attorney and living will. From diagnosis to treatment to case management services, CrescentCare has been able to provide Paul whole person healthcare and additional services.
