The new CrescentCare Health and Wellness Center celebrated its grand opening at 3308 Tulane Ave. with a press con-

residents in neighborhoods that have limited access to healthcare facilities. CrescentCare also showcased its new ser-
vices and community healthcare model with an open house.
The new center offers primary care for adults, primary care in pediatrics for children and families, specialized care for
the LGBT community, behavioral health, case management, HIV/AIDS and STD services and support, and infectious

tations; a clinical pharmacist; OB/GYN services; transgender care; Hepatitis C treatment; health education; health pre-
vention and counseling; employment counseling; skill-building classes; a PrEP clinic; and medication assistance.
