The document discusses rebuilding the health care system in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina and applying Jewish principles of health care. It notes that pre-Katrina, Louisiana ranked 50th in health outcomes and had high rates of poverty, uninsured individuals, and health disparities. After Katrina, most hospitals and health infrastructure was destroyed, exacerbating access issues. The document advocates redesigning the system based on primary care-centered models shown to improve outcomes and lower costs through principles like comprehensive and coordinated care.

This good news must be tempered, however, because of a stubborn persistence of a 5-7 year disparity in the length of life a black child can expect, compared to a white child. How much longer will we tolerate such unconscionable disparity?

WEATHER DISTRUBANCE! Hurricane Katrina rolled over the Louisiana and Mississippi gulf coast on August 29, 2005. The failure of flawed levees caused massive and prolonged flooding and devastation in the New Orleans area, forcing the evacuation of more than one million people in the city and surrounding areas [next slide:] 80% of the city proper sat under water for weeks, crippling the city’s infrastructure, and closing all 9 acute care hospitals in the city and most in the metro area.
80% of the city itself sat under water for weeks, crippling the city, and closing all 9 acute care hospitals in the city and most in the metro area. Both LSU and Tulane schools of medicine flooded, necessitating their temporary re-establishment out of the town. The LSU and Tulane Residency programs based in NO faced an immediate threat to survival with the closing of the major teaching hospitals, in particular Charity Hosp (MCLNO). A dance of survival and then renewal began for GME, and continues today.
