We at Canon Hospice want the people of New Orleans to know that we are committed to being a part of the efforts to rebuild New Orleans.
We have already started this effort by hiring workers who were displaced from their jobs and are returning home seeking employment.
We are very proud to say that we were able to maintain services to our patients throughout Hurricane Katrina. Our inpatients were evacuated and our staff followed them all the way through to their return to Elmwood on October 4th, 2005.
TO CANON HOSPICE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES:
If your are returning home to the greater New Orleans area, please call us at 504-818-2723 so we may assist you. If you are not able to return, please call and let us know how and where you are.
