In support of all women around the country, today we wear red to advocate for and build awareness around heart disease.

Today is World Cancer Day, with the theme being "United by Unique." This campaign puts people at the center, emphasizing the importance of everyone's unique and individual experience with cancer. Acknowledging and listening to these individual stories is the first step toward providing empathetic care that leads to the best outcomes. At NOELA, we believe in a similar approach with our care teams, being a Patient-Centered Medical Home that focuses on all-inclusive care for our patients. The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness and to take action. Together, we can create change. Together, we are

Black people have played a major role in medicine by creating lifesaving treatments, improving surgeries, and helping communities get better care. Their work has shaped modern healthcare and continues to make people healthier today. At NOELA, we celebrate Black History Month as a reminder of these contributions—because Black history is healthcare history. 🩺🏥

Dr. Janell Green Smith, a 31-year-old Black nurse-midwife and dedicated maternal health advocate, passed away on January 1, 2026, due to childbirth complications from severe preeclampsia. A South Carolina native and mentor, she worked to reduce racial disparities in maternal care before her own tragic, preventable death.
Despite her expertise, her death highlights that, regardless of education or income, Black women are over three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. This should not have happened and is an example of why Maternal Healthcare is so important. This is a statement from one of our care coordinators:

Mental health in maternal care is very important because if you are aware of the signs, you can get help faster which can lead to positive outcomes. Missing signs or not getting help can lead to a dark path. That is what I experienced after giving birth to my third child on 08/15/2012. This was a dark time in my life. My postpartum depression led to me losing my job and being unable to function out in the world. My family finally sought help for me and that made a huge difference. My recovery took about 6 months, but this prepared me for any future pregnancy. As I look back, I feel now I had postpartum depression with my two oldest but due to not having the tools and knowledge we now have I was never diagnosed, nor did I speak up, as I was afraid that I could not handle motherhood.

Stories like these help to spread awareness of the risks involved with maternal health. At NOELA, our care teams are here to support any and all needs for pregnant women and postpartum women. From OB/GYN to psychiatric services, NOELA has the resources to aid you through your pregnancy and postpartum.

It's Health Information Week(HiW)! Today is focused on Men's Health. Mauricio, one of our care coordinators, talks about some of the risk factors and the importance of staying aware of your health.

The two leading causes of death among men are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Our job is to identify the risk factors that contribute to developing these conditions, educate patients on the risks, and mitigate their affects through lifestyle modifications and medication; all while building trust and awareness with the patient. At NOELA, we take a preventative approach to men's care. Regular screenings and check-ups with your primary care provider (P*P) are the best ways to ensure you are on top of your health.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Keith Winfrey, believes in the coach analogy: just like you need a coach to improve your skills in any sport, you need a health coach to guide you toward healthier lifestyle choices.

Traditionally, men struggle with admitting when they need help. Especially when it comes to their health, too often they only think about going to the doctor when something is wrong. There is no shame in being proactive and as healthy and aware as possible.

It's Health Information Week(HiW)! Today is focused on Mental Health. One of the psychiatry residents who attends at the clinic, Dr. Sistrunk, shares his thoughts and advice about mental health, particularly in the New Orleans East region.

Mental health is just as important as any other aspect of your health and should not be ignored.

It's Health Information Week(HiW)! Today is focused on Translated Patient Information. NOELA is a multicultural health center that knows the importance of accurately translating patient information and conversations. We care about providing our patients culturally competent care in their language. Here is a statement from one of our translators:

"Being Multilingual allows us to connect to patients better. A lot of them come from rural areas, or have little to no prior experience with doctors. Being able to communicate with patients in their native language allows us to provide better service and make the patients as comfortable as possible.

NOELA is committed to providing affordable, accessible health care in your language. Call us to schedule an appointment today!

In celebration of Martin Luther King , Jr. Day, NOELA would like to remind you of some impactful quotes that still hold true today. Division in the United States is at an all time high, as we are constantly fighting against each other. Dr. King Jr. reminds us that the only solution to hatred is love. Our differences are our strength, not our weakness. We are living in a strange time where free speech is challenged. Dr. King Jr. reminds us that silence is complacency. We must exercise our first amendment right to speak about the injustices that we witness every day. When the clear truth is challenged, collective agreement and advocacy is how we reset the standard of truth. Although our government has lost its moral compass, we must stand on the side of truth and good morals. Dr. King Jr. reminds us that we have no choice in this matter. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We must uphold this by remaining true to the morals upon which this country was built on and we were raised by. NOELA Community Health Center advocates for the rights of our diverse community. Race, ethnicity, language, your health, or your household income are not determinants of your eligibility to live in this country. We can accomplish so much more together instead of divided, and we must celebrate that which makes us great: each other.

Our community takes care of the community. The second Friday of every month, Second Harvest Food Bank donates food to NOELA, which we then distribute out to the community.
