NEW ORLEANS — DePaul Community Health Centers, which operates 11 facilities in greater New Orleans, will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 6 at its new Harvey location (1629 Westbank Expressway). U.S. Rep. Troy Carter, State Rep. Rodney Lyons and Jefferson Parish Councilman Byron Lee plan to attend the 10 a.m. event.
The 9,400-square-feet space, which cost $4.2 million to build, is the first of three new health centers DCHC plans to open before the end of 2024.
