Mission Statement

 

The Lower9 Community Wellness Consortium exists to strengthen the health, resilience, and overall well‑being of the Lower Ninth Ward through coordinated, community‑rooted, and faith‑anchored wellness services. We unite churches, grassroots organizations, youth programs, senior advocates, and resident leaders to expand access to preventive care, mental health support, family wellness, and health education. Guided by dignity, equity, and collaboration, we work to build a healthier, safer, and more connected Lower Ninth Ward where every resident can thrive.
