LBCHP Finds Permanent Home


Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to the Louisiana Breast and Cervical Health Program's (LBCHP) office on Canal St. LBCHP was displaced to temporary office space until permanent office space could be secured.


In February 2008, nearly two and a half years post-Hurricane Katrina, LBCHP moved into permanent office space at the Freeport-McMoRan building (1615 Poydras St Ste 1400, New Orleans).
