For people without a home, medical resources aren t as accessible, but here are a few services available for people living in New Orleans without a New Orleans address to claim as their own.

The services include health screenings, tests for sexually transmitted infections and diseases, annual health exams for men and women, and help with Medicaid enrollment.
Dental exams, X-rays, cleanings, and fillings services are provided, as well as removing teeth and providing partial or full dentures.
