Both of them were evacuated to safer parts of the States, Weeks later, they ,like thousands of others, returned to find their homes uninhabitable, their jobs gone,

As word spread, help poured in, Groups raised money and donated medical equipment, exam tables, free ductwork, other supplies and even labor, Bedrooms were transformed into exam rooms and Pat’s living room into a waiting room.
On February 27,2007,the clinic opened, with patients lined up around the block, Those who came in that first day were very sick with problems from not taking their medicine for a year after Katrina, Over 1,200 people have made their way to the clinic, whose decoration passes what Pat calls the mama test.: “Would your mama feel comfortable here?” Until recently, it was the only health-care facility in there, “It’s a relief to have a clinic right here in the neighborhood where I can check my pressure.” says Latoya Owens, 30, who suffers from hypertension.
“This is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done ,” says Alice Pat ,”I ‘m alleviating(减轻)some suffering in an underserved population. I listen to their stories, and I cry a lot, People outside New Orleans think things are back to normal here, but we are far from that.”
