  • 摘要:

    In the summer of 2005, Hurricane Katrina displaced residents from the city of New Orleans and the eastern coastal area of Louisiana, and a month later, Hurricane Rita displaced many residents from the western coastal areas of Louisiana. The middle coastal area of Louisiana served as refuge for many evacuees, and a unique story documenting the health care provided to children emerged from the School- Based Health Center (SBHC) of St. Martin Parish. Quarterly reports filed by the program with the Louisiana Office of Public Health for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 school years document an increase in visits and the cost of care provided. Qualitative data document the clinics’ experiences responding to the evacuee children and their families. Among the lessons learned was that the presence of a SBHC facilitated the evacuees’ transitions and was an integral part of the community response to displaced students and their families.
