Ascension DePaul Services New Orleans (ADSNO) operates 11 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) as DePaul Community Health Centers (DCHC) in the greater New Orleans area that offer an array of primary and preventive services, optometry, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health. ADSNO has more than 190 years of experience and a very sound relationship in the Metropolitan New Orleans Area, which brings a wealth of knowledge to provide services, care, and best practices for outreach to meet the needs of our vast multicultural community. ADSNO has provided health screenings and outreach services built on health literacy and access to health care for all people, particularly for those who are underserved or experience linguistic and cultural barriers to care and services.
ADSNO’s success is built upon its history and experience in health care in New Orleans since 1834. ADSNO’s history in New Orleans began with its founders, the Daughters of Charity, and their management of Charity Hospital from 1834-1992, ownership and management of Hotel Dieu Hospital from 1859-2015, and ownership and management of DePaul Hospital from 1865 to 1973. In 2019, Daughters became Ascension DePaul Services of New Orleans.
DCHC’s plan is to create long-term and sustainable ambulatory campus rooted in delivering high quality healthcare and improving the health and well-being of the Metro NO community members. The sites will include primary medical services, behavioral health services, pharmacy, after hours care, urgent care, as well as imaging and lab services. This financing will greatly assist in bringing needed healthcare services to the low-income population.
In May of 2023, in partnership with Stonehenge Community Development, PB Community Impact Fund, The Community Business Investment Fund, and US Bank, Crescent closed on a $23.0M Federal NMTC financing, to construct two new facilities:.
- Algiers – A $15.8 million clinic will include primary care, behavioral health, pediatrics, a pharmacy, urgent care, and outpatient diagnostic imaging and laboratory services. This new 20,000 SF facility will replace a nearby leased facility possessing only 1,944 SF, growing ten-fold in size.
- Harvey – A $4.2 million clinic will include primary care, behavioral health, pediatrics, and a pharmacy. This new 9,400 SF facility will replace a nearby leased facility possessing only 3,750 SF, representing a nearly triple increase in size.
DCHC’s new facilities plan on creating 34 jobs during the entirety of the NMTC Compliance Period.
