Brief History
Priority Health Care (PHC), a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization located in Marrero, Louisiana was established in 2009. PHC worked to address the health care and support service needs of the underserved populations in Louisiana, while providing specialized services for people living with HIV/AIDS. In 2015, Priority Health Care became a Federally Qualified Health Center with two locations in Jefferson Parish (Marrero and Gretna).

Since 2010, Priority Health Care has expanded its services providing primary care, case management, mental health, medication assistance and other supportive services (transportation & outreach) to the community. Priority Health Care established the Renew Hope Center in 2019, an Intensive Outpatient Program with Medication Assistance that addresses substance abuse disorders. In addition, Priority Health Care recently added services that aid homeless individuals in securing housing for the residents of Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. In 2021, PHC implemented mobile unit services providing health screenings and vaccinations within the community.
