The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Gulf Futures Challenge has awarded $20 million to the Louisiana Public Health Institute for its ‘Gulf Hub initiative’, which aims to ensure health clinics across the Gulf Coast region remain open during natural disasters. The initiative involves a multi-state partnership between Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida to transform community health centers into energy-independent, climate-adaptive health care facilities. These hubs will provide uninterrupted care to over a half million residents across the four Gulf states. The winning project includes partnerships with Primary Care Associations, the Louisiana State University School of Public Health, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Southern University’�s School of Social Work, and the Mississippi Public HealthInstitute.
