DePaul Community Health Centers (DCHC), which operates 11 health centers throughout metro New Orleans, will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its new health center at 2801 General DeGaulle Drive in Algiers on Sept. 1 at 10 a.m.
The entirely new construction health center facility, comprising 20,000 square feet at a cost of $14.4 million, is scheduled to open September 2024. Several political officials and community leaders are expected to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony and the general public is invited to attend.
The Algiers site is one of two new health center locations DCHC plans to open in 2024. DCHC is also scheduled to open a health center (8,700 square feet; $4.3 million) in the new H3C facility located on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. in early 2024. DCHC held a ribbon cutting April 6 for its new 9,400 square foot Westbank Expressway health center, located at 1629 Westbank Expressway in Harvey.
