    Support the Common Ground Health Clinic - Presentation Transcript

    1. Support the Common Ground Health Clinic in New Orleans
    2.  
    3. The Common Ground Health Clinic has been providing FREE quality Health Care and community education in New Orleans since September 9, 2005. One of the grants that enables us to provide high quality care to every person who walks through our doors will expire in 2010. We have set a goal of raising one million dollars by our fourth anniversary - 9/9/09 - so that we can establish an endowment for the clinic and continue to serve our community through 2010 and beyond .
    4. We’ve come a long way from an all volunteer crew providing services out of the Masjid Bilal Mosque …

    6. To a converted corner store across the street...
    7.  
    8. Where our combined team of staff and volunteers continue to provide high quality services, free of charge, that include primary care, Spanish medical interpreting, mind-body medicine groups, herbal medicine, social work, acupuncture and testing for HIV…
    9.  
    10. As well as working in the community to address societal factors that contribute to ill health, such as systemic racism and poverty.
    11.  
    12. It took a combination of vision, courage and perseverance to found this clinic.
