EXCELth Family Health Center - Algiers

About Us:

EXCELth, Incorporated is a private, not-for-profit organization founded in 1991, governed by a consumer board of directors.  EXCELth is funded as a Community Health Center by the Bureau of Primary Health Care, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is designated as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). EXCELth operates the EXCELth Primary Care Network.

Its mission is: To provide excellence in community-based health care that increases access, reduces health disparities, and improves health outcomes.

Prior to 2005, the EXCELth Primary Care Network operated sites in New Orleans only. After Hurricane Katrina's devastation, EXCELth enlarged its service area to include Baton Rouge with the purpose of expanding primary care access for persons displaced by the 2005 storms. Today, EXCELth remains in the Baton Rouge area to address the mental health needs of persons who have difficulty getting these services elsewhere due to limited availability of providers or a lack of affordable care.
