Serving Those Impacted by Hurricane Gustav

As with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, Woman's Hospital once again served as a point of refuge for evacuated women and infants from the affected areas, providing life saving, critical healthcare services. During and after the storm, we cared for 45 infants from New Orleans, Houma, Morgan City, and other communities in southeast Louisiana. Of the 45 infants, 17 were born here at Woman's Hospital after evacuating from the storm. These precious patients - the tiniest victims of Hurricane Gustav - along with 22 adult patients and their families were welcomed as a part of our family and received the care and support they needed at a very difficult time in their lives.
