Creating access to health care isn’t just about opening the doors for development and growth.

It’s about you and your family.  You see, public health is important to our city in a lot of ways, but it’s most important because it affects people – people like you who work to make your life and our community better.  No one should be deprived of access to healthcare because of income or neighborhood.  My plan for healthcare reform will open the doors to a lot of things, most importantly to a healthier you and a healthier city for all of us.

- Work to reopen Methodist Hospital, or to find resources to open a hospital in New Orleans East.

- Expedite the replacement of services lost when Charity Hospital closed.

- Work with the state to restore inpatient mental health services.

- Restore easily accessible primary care by establishing more community clinics through public-private partnerships.
