Teche Action Clinic
By: Howard J. Castay, Jr.
Teche Action Clinic officially opens in Pierre Part, this Wednesday, with a celebration from 4 to 6 p.m.
For 35 years, this federally subsidized non-profit health care operation has existed, with clinics in Baldwin, Franklin, Dulac, Houma, and Edgard.
Now the operation will move into Assumption Parish, at 3617 Hwy 70 in Pierre Part, formerly the site of the Larrison Family Practice and Health Center. The move comes in the wake of the operation receiving a $1.4 million stimulus grant from President Barack Obama.
Teche Action Clinic Chief Executive Officer Dr. Gary M. Wiltz said initial expansion into Pierre Part will include: family medicine, diagnostic service and specialty referrals. Future services will include Oral Health (Dental), Mental Health, and Pharmacy.
The clinic will be open Mondays thru Thursdays, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8am to Noon. Persons wishing to make an appointment may call 985-252-6211.
Teche Action Clinic will provide primary care treatment to people within the community regardless of their ability to pay. Their fees are based on a sliding scale, according to income. However, they do accept insurance. Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurances are accepted.
