Luke's House Clinic

Luke's House, a free primary care clinic at Mount Zion United Methodist Church, was born out of concern for the health and well-being of New Orleans residents post-Katrina.  Volunteer doctors and nurses provide high-quality medical care to adults and children, while social workers and pastoral counselors address mental health and spiritual needs.  Luke's House also distributes shelter vouchers, clothing donations, and free toiletries and snacks during our homeless outreach time before the clinic opens.  The clinic has an open door policy -- anyone can receive care at Luke's House at no cost.

Service learners will assist with homeless outreach, assist patients during clinic hours, and maintain patient files and medical supplies.  Bilingual or proficient Spanish speakers are needed to help communicate with our Spanish-speaking patients.  Students will learn about compassionate, holistic care and health care equity issues.
