The Common Ground Health Clinic is a free, integrative health clinic established after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana. Our mission is to provide quality, client centered primary healthcare to uninsured, underinsured and in need folks in the New Orleans Community while developing a model of a community controlled healthcare organization. We are currently in our second year of existence and have seen over 15,000 patients. Our services include primary care, medication refills, lab work, bi-lingual services, a Latino Health Outreach Project, acupuncture, herbalism and health education. We have built a basic network of donors, funders, volunteers and supporters, and established relationships with numerous other public health, medical, and grassroots organizations. Currently we are focused on fortifying these local and national networks in order to guarantee the long-term sustainability of the clinic and to make Common Ground Health Clinic an organization that is truly anti-racist and community driven.
