Healthcare clinic opens in east New Orleans

A short distance from a sprawling hospital complex closed since Hurricane Katrina, a primary care facility has reopened its doors in eastern New Orleans. The 5,000-square-foot office, with nine examination rooms, will offer primary care with minor cardiac services as well as OB/GYN exams and minor surgeries. Administrators later hope to provide additional specialized services, lab services and complete cardiac care, including ultrasounds and stress test equipment.
