Description

The greater New Orleans (NO) area continues to face challenges in restoring health care services disrupted by Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, HHS awarded the $100 million Primary Care Access and Stabilization Grant (PCASG) to Louisiana to help restore primary care services to the low-income pop’n. This report examines: (1) how PCASG fund recipients used the PCASG funds to support primary care services in greater NO; (2) how PCASG fund recipients used and benefited from other fed. hurricane relief funds that support the restoration of primary care services in the area; and (3) challenges PCASG fund recipients continued to face in providing primary care, and their plans for sustaining services after PCASG funds are no longer available.
