• We have been in constant contact with our physicians, and we expect those who evacuated to return to the city very soon. Our administrative team is currently assessing our offices for any damage from Hurricane Gustav.
• If we determine that there is not any significant damage and utilities are restored, we will reopen our offices on Friday, September 5^th. Our focus on Friday is to accept patient phone calls and treat any patients that require urgent medical care.
• If we do not have any significant damage and utilities are restored, we expect our offices to become fully operational on Monday, September 8^th.
• If you have not done so, please check in with David Wagner, our Director of Operations. You can reach him via email at david.wagner@touro.com. Please let him know of any issues you may have returning to work.
• Present your CCPI identification badges at any checkpoints to gain access to Orleans Parish. Your badge should be sufficient if you are stopped by the authorities.
• Continue to check http://www.touro.com/ for updates. We hope you and your families are well. Have a safe trip returning to the New Orleans area, and we look forward to continuing operations and providing care for the New Orleans community.
