Description

The greater New Orleans area -- Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard parishes -- continues to face challenges in restoring health care services disrupted by Hurricane Katrina which made landfall in Aug. 2005. In 2007, the Dept. of Health and Human Services awarded the $100 million Primary Care Access and Stabilization Grant (PCASG) to Louisiana to help restore primary care services to the low-income population. This testimony focuses on: (1) how PCASG fund recipients used the PCASG funds; (2) how recipients used and benefited from other federal hurricane relief funds; and (3) challenges recipients faced and recipients' plans for sustaining services after PCASG funds are no longer available.
