About:
Luke’s house provides healthcare for the Spanish-speaking populace of New Orleans. We provide general checkups, screening for hypertension and diabetes, prescription assistance, vaccinations for Influenza, Tdap, and Pneumococcus, and referrals to other clinics for services if need be. Luke’s is comprised of volunteers from Tulane, LSU and Ochsner’s medical programs, and serves both Spanish and English-speaking patients.

To be cleared to volunteer, students should speak to Krishna Navaratnam, Karen Gallegos-Diaz, Mahlet Zemedkun, or Connor Nyborg (email: Lukeshouse.TUSOM@tulane.edu) for an initial assessment.
