On March 15, CrescentCare officially broke ground on its future MidCity location at 2515 Canal St, joined by real estate partners Gulf Coast Housing Partnership (GCHP). The state-of-the-art clinic will greatly expand programs for primary care, behavioral health, sexual health services, and more.

“We are thrilled to break ground on our new MidCity location, which will allow us to grow services and provide even more innovative healthcare solutions to those in need,” said Alice Riener, CrescentCare CEO. “Since our founding as NO/AIDS Task Force in 1983, we’ve been dedicated to supporting underserved communities. We’re proud to celebrate our 40th anniversary with this exciting expansion.”

Originally built in 1957 as the America Fore Insurance Group Building, the structure at 2515 Canal St. was designed by Curtis and Davis Architects and Engineers, a New Orleans-based firm known for its many unique, post-war modernist landmarks including the Superdome and the New Orleans Public Library’s Mid-City branch.

With more space for patients and services, more parking, and a location that is more accessible from public transportation than our current rented space in MidCity, we look forward to expanding our affordable healthcare services for the community while creating more jobs and making efficient use of this historic structure.
