AEDF Healthcare Survey

The committee is composed of representatives from Ochsner Medical Center – Westbank, West Jefferson Medical Center & Fitness Center, Tulane University Heart and Vascular Institute, St Luke’s Medical Center, Jefferson Neurobehavioral Group, Algiers Urgent Care, Algiers Charter Schools Association, and representatives from the AEDF Board and the community. One of the major goals of the committee is to seek the input from the Algiers community to assess what medical services are missing in Algiers. Please complete the attached survey to help AEDF identity the healthcare needs in the Algiers community. Click here to take the survey – thanks in advance for your input.
After reports last week that United Churches of Algiers’ food bank had to close because its shelves were bare, more than 5,000 food items have flowed into the nonprofit’s cramped quarters. But director Sheila Riviore cautioned that the goods would probably be gone in two weeks, and urged donors to contribute.
Algiers Point resident Lindsay Hilton is one of many who were moved by the closure of the food bank. She came to AEDF to see what could be done. In response, collection boxes will be placed in businesses around Algiers Point, and there will be a collection box at all remaining Wednesdays on the Point free summer concerts to collect food. This weeks show will be at the Old Point Bar at 100 Olivier St. and Patterson Drive from 6 to 9 p.m featuring Amanda Shaw.
