St. Thomas Community Health Center was proud to host a Grand Opening event for its new site at Columbia Parc. Patients, staff, funders and supporters gathered together on April 30th to celebrate this exciting event, with Nancy Parker from Fox News as the MC.  This new clinic will provide high quality, cost-effective care to the many people in and around the Columbia Parc neighborhood and new mixed-income housing.

Thanks to a wonderful friend and donor, Lorraine Johnston, for the shout-out in her recent interview about her new children’s book “Later Tartan Gator”!
Here is a brief excerpt from her interview:

Interviewer: What was the most rewarding part of the experience?
Johnston: “3 things! 1. When I received a box of my books, real books, in a real box, delivered to my home in Scotland – a book that I wrote – amazing feeling to see it in print. 2. When I visited New Orleans in April 2013 to launch the book and visited St Thomas Community Health Center and I could see what an amazing job they do there. I felt that I was doing something ‘useful!’ Something that built my confidence a bit, as I hadn’t felt very ‘useful’ since my diagnosis and since my capabilities lessened.”
