If you happen to live in New Orleans and you don’t have a health insurance, watch out for the event that will take place on Saturday at Ernest M. Morial Convention Center. A free health clinic will be open to at least to 2,000 patients and there will be 400 medical professionals present the whole day.

According to the organizers, doors are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Other than the 2,000 appointment slots available, they might also be able to entertain some walk-ups. No one will be charged therefore uninsured or underinsured individuals can make appointments by calling 877.233.5159.

The series of health fairs are sponsored by the non- profit organizations Louisiana Free Clinic Association and the National Association of Free Clinics based in Washington, D.C. The initiative is designed to make uninsured patients become aware of what services are available and to call attention to the difficulty that many Americans have in obtaining quality care. In Houston, the one-day event brought in almost 2,000 people. Future stops include Little Rock, Ark., and Kansas City, Mo.

Nicole Lamoureux, executive director of the national clinics organization, said, “We want to underscore what goes on every day at 1,200 free clinics around the country.” But, she said, “Free clinics are just a Band-Aid on a much larger problem” of access.
