Gaining in New Orleans. With help from a federal grant, wounded city builds a model primary-care system.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, a thriving primary-care network of neighborhood clinics in New Orleans seemed unimaginable. But today, thanks to a federal grant, the flood-damaged city has built a model system. "From the devastation emerged an opportunity to restructure and reorganize primary care for low-income and vulnerable populations in New Orleans," says Melinda Abrams, left, of the Commonwealth Fund.
