About:
The Crescent City Farmers Market operates weekly year-round throughout New Orleans. The CCFM hosts nearly 60 local small farmers, fishers, and food producers, and more than 150,000 shoppers annually. This clinic emphasizes preventive healthcare and patient education, so we do regular health screenings for patients on a monthly basis (first thursday of the month). This includes taking blood pressure, glucose checks, heart rate and managing weight. The patients are from all over New Orleans from different backgrounds. There are many regulars, so it’s wonderful for long-term patient connections.
