BigEasyMag [ 4/24] - Odyssey House Louisiana (OHL) now has a new federally qualified one-stop-shop primary and behavioral health care center due to a $1 million appropriation spearheaded by Congressman Troy Carter. Carter–along with various partnering agencies and individuals–cut the ribbon to open the new clinic in the Lafitte-Treme neighborhood on Tuesday, April 23. While introducing Carter, OHL CEO Ed Carlson explained that it takes partnership to accomplish major goals and that the congressman has always been a major supporter of the organization at the federal level. [...] Also on hand were Mayor LaToya Cantrell, Councilmembers Lesli Harris, Oliver Thomas and Eugene Green as well as Maggie Pike, one of the agency’s founders who is still active with the group. Each spoke glowingly about OHL’s ongoing success in working with the most vulnerable people in the community.
