Cover 4 2/15/07 6:20 PM Page 1 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. Hurricane Katrina Victims Still Without Healthcare 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.
