Responding to Hurricane Katrina
The Wellmobile team has settled into the community of Brookhaven, Miss. They are seeing about 200 patients per day. They are working closely with the American Red Cross and community leadership to address the most urgent needs. They are seeing respiratory and GI related illness along with people with chronic illnesses who don’t have access to their medications or regular providers.
Camp Wellmobile has become the home away from home for all as the share living, eating in their little camp site along side of the local shelter. It has been a week since they left and they are busy as ever filling many needs including helping organize the large public health initiative across the entire community of victims and locals to receive necessary vaccines.
