Bringing healthcare and health equity, accessibility and hope, and much-needed urban renewal to the 9th Ward, this uplifting event heralds a new era of medical care for seniors in the 70127 zip code that long has been a healthcare desert (where aging residents often have lifespans 10 to 20 years shorter than those for residents in more affluent New Orleans zip codes). JenCare, which operates more than 30 centers in five states (Louisiana, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, and Virginia), is part of ChenMed, one of the nation’s leading primary care practices. JenCare patients benefit from having their doctor’s cell phone number for quick replies to texts or calls; enjoy both telemedicine and in-person doctor visits; plus are encouraged to visit JenCare for same-day and walk-in appointments, whenever needed.
