ABOUT START COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER

SLMA partnered in 2015 with Start Corporation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization to develop the Start Community Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) committed to providing services to our community and surrounding parishes.

The overall goal of the Start Community Health Center is to improve access to quality and comprehensive health care services, improve the health status of our patients through prevention, early identification, and treatment of serious health issues. The health center’s service model will integrate preventative and primary medical care, dental care, mental health, and substance abuse treatment, case management and other enabling services. Based upon screening and requested needs, clinic staff will provide general preventative and primary medical care on-site.

Start Corporation has offices throughout south Louisiana and has successfully established numerous programs to provide supportive housing, case management, social skills training, residential services, a clubhouse, and a Peer to Peer program for persons with low incomes and/or behavioral, physical, or developmental challenges and disabilities.
