About Gulf Hub

Gulf Hub brings together a powerful, multi-state partnership to transform Community Health Centers into Learning Resilience Hubs, energy-independent, climate-adaptive healthcare facilities that remain operational before, during, and after disruptions and disasters.

By integrating:

Solar+storage technology
Communications systems
Enhanced programming
Flood-resistant infrastructure
Regional data warehouse and patient-centered research network

Learning Resilience Hubs will ensure uninterrupted care to over 500,000 residents across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida while building the research needed to understand, strengthen, and sustain community and healthcare resilience for the future.

Gulf Hub will be implemented by a multi-state partnership of State (LA, MS, AL, FL) Primary Care Associations, the Louisiana State University School of Public Health, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Southern University’s School of Social Work, Crescent Care, the Mississippi Public Health Institute, and 504HealthNet.

* Community Health Centers (CHCs) in this context refer to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), community-based health centers that receive federal funding and must meet strict requirements to provide comprehensive primary care to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
