Website Review: GNOCommunity.org
Posted by
I’m quite impressed with GNOCommunity.org. As soon as you land on the site – it grabs your interest and you quickly realize what a priceless resource the site is when looking for a quality healthcare center.
What is GNOCommunity.org?
GNOCommunity.org is a service dedicated to helping individuals find a quality healthcare center that fits their needs. There are over 90 community-based medical centers, 40 of which offer primary care services. These medical clinics are funded in part by the Primary Care Access and Stabilization Grant, a program designed to meet the increasing demand for quality healthcare services in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parish. Other services include mental health and substance abuse services, dental care and more.
Most of the medical centers listed on this site accept private and public health insurance, or payments can be made on an income-based sliding fee scale. It is quality healthcare everyone can afford.
Interactive Map
The interactive map and listed detailed information for the health care provider are what the site is all about. You can have a look at all 90 New Orleans community-based medical centers or further narrow down your search by the type of healthcare provider you are looking for: Adult Primary Care, Pediatric Primary Care, OB Services, Dental Services, Counseling Services and Substance Psychiatric Services Abuse Services. Next, you can further narrow down your searches by how many miles away from your zip code you’re willing to travel.
Once you hit the search button; you get a list of your results both plotted on the map and with additional information to include address, hours of operation, services they provide, if they service the uninsured, Medicaid, Medicare, accept credit cards, website link (if applicable) and even what languages are spoken at the center.
GNOCommunity.org is brought to you by the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI)
If you find yourself in need of a health care provider – you would be a fool to not make use of GNOCommunity.org

Hi Jason! I joined both the Stay Healthy, Louisiana and GNOCommunity.org fan pages on facebook. You guys are doing some fabulous work. You’ll never guess who I heard about you from? I was in DC before coming here and friends with Andre Blackman – as soon as I told him about Be Fit NOLA, he told me about you and his interview of you: http://pulseandsignal.com/2009/09/15/interview-jason-melancon-of-stay-healthy-louisiana/. It’s such a small world. Would love to talk and interview you for our blog when you have time.
