Almost two years later, communities struggle to
rebuild with limited resources. In the wake of
Katrina, CNA/NNOC's Registered Nurse Response
Network sent more than 300 nurses from around
the country to staff hospitals, clinics, and mobile
units throughout the region.CNA/NNOC is stepping
up once again to help the many families that
remain without access to basic healthcare,
proper living conditions, and healthy learning
environments for children.
Please join us in helping the following programs
rebuild the health of their communities.
Lower Ninth Ward Health Clinic, because families
need access to primary healthcare. Established by
the community, staff and volunteers provide free
basic healthcare to returning families, but the needs
are great. This small clinic, run in the former home
of a nurse, has limited equipment and resources.

St. Bernard Parish, because children need a healthy
learning environment. Many of the 4,000 children
that have returned to the parish live in one-room
FEMA trailers with their families. School nurses,
whose equipment was lost during Katrina, are
challenged to help children with both medical
and emotional needs.
Let them know we haven't forgotten them.
