Luke's House: A Clinic for Healing and Hope
Gyl Switzer's Company Details
Our mission is to be a place of medical and spiritual hope, health and healing for the people of Greater New Orleans, and a doorway to long-term healthcare solutions.\\Luke's House Clinic opened in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when the medical services of the city were severely compromised and the numbers of those who found themselves homeless and uninsured skyrocketed. \\Since then Luke's House has been delivering healthcare to the medically under-served every Tuesday evening. Powered by volunteers, Luke's House Clinic is the fruition of partnerships between Rayne United Methodist Church, Mount Zion United Methodist Church, and the LSU Department of Medicine/ Pediatrics Residency Program.\ \Today Luke's House continues to open its doors one night a week and on the first Thursday of every month. Every clinic night, Luke's House sees an average of 15-20 patients in the two hours it is open. Our completely volunteer medical staff sees patients suffering from chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, conducts pre-employment physicals for the unemployed, offers free psychiatric services, and provides care for patients with more complicated health issues.
