Meet Dr. Chris Gunther, MD, MPH

Dr. Gunther is a board-certified family physician providing comprehensive care for patients of all ages and stages of life. His path to medicine started right here in New Orleans—as a science and literacy teacher in public schools—before earning his Master of Public Health from Tulane and working with the New Orleans Health Department.

Driven to make an even deeper impact, he went on to earn his medical degree from LSU and completed his residency in California. Now, he’s back in New Orleans and proud to be part of the CrescentCare team 💙

Dr. Gunther’s clinical interests include:
• Obstetrics & reproductive health
• Addiction medicine
• Street medicine
• HIV & hepatitis C care
• Point-of-care ultrasound

He is now offering in-clinic vasectomies, expanding access to safe, convenient reproductive health options.

When he’s not caring for patients, you can find him cycling, exploring City Park, or enjoying New Orleans’ incredible live music scene 🎶

We’re so glad to have him home at CrescentCare!

CrescentCare's mobile outreach care van has officially hit the streets! And is already making an impact.

In just ONE week:
• 219 unique client interactions
• 35 people connected to care at CrescentCare + community partners
• Thousands of hygiene, safer s*x, and wound care supplies in community hands to help reduce deaths from opioid overdoses.

This is what meeting people where they are looks like.

We’re showing up, building trust, and connecting our community to care—right where it’s needed most.

No barriers. No judgment. Just care.

Sequins? Sparkle? Easter hats taller than your future? Say less. 💅🐣🌸

The 25th Annual Big Gay Easter Parade showed ALL the way out—and it didn’t just happen overnight. This whole week was a celebration of community, joy, and a whole lot of fabulous:

✨ Sponsorship Party at Corner Pocket
✨ Drag Show at Oz
✨ Eggstravaganza at Le Cabaret
✨ Purple Party at the Crossing
✨ Bunnies in the Big Easy
✨ And of course… the Easter Parade

A very special THANK YOU to Tomy Acosta for the heart, hustle, and magic behind it all. This tradition continues to shine because of you.

And to everyone who participated, donated, strutted, danced, volunteered, and cheered from the sidelines—thank you for showing up and showing love. Because of you, we’re able to support Food for Friends.

New Orleans understood the assignment… as always 💛

🎭💜 Happy Mardi Gras from CrescentCare! 💚💛

We’ve been outside since Kings’ Day… beads thrown, shoes retired, glitter everywhere. Now it’s time to let it settle. ✨

Join us for When the Glitter Settles — The Unofficial Closing Mardi Gras Party with DJ Pedro the Juice bringing the vibes while we close out Carnival the right way.

Come cool down, dance a little, connect with community, and take care of yourself while you’re at it. CrescentCare and community partners will be on-site offering free HIV/STI testing, community resources, and refreshments while supplies last — because celebration and self-care can go hand in hand.

📍 House of Blues Foundation Room
225 Decatur Street, New Orleans
📅 February 22, 2026
⏰ 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

The glitter may settle, but the community keeps moving. Come through, bring a friend, and close Mardi Gras with intention.

Thank you to our partners: The Movement, POZitive NOLA Initiative, MHSD, Men of Color, New Orleans Black Pride, DATS SO NOLA Collective, and No Wrap No Tap.
