Our "REVISED" newsletter is in its second edition! If you didn't get a copy (via email) you can download here. The fall edition has the President's Message by Dan Jacob, M.D. It also has a recap of the 2023 mission to Puerto Plata and an article about our Eye Clinic.
The second edition has three articles: a History of NOMMS (part one), a Donor Profile, and a Volunteer Profile. The History of NOMMS takes you back to the very first days when the NOMMS office and warehouse was a room in the back of a Vietnamese grocery in Fat City, Metairie! NOMMS has had phenomenal growth over the last 23 years. Stay tuned for Part Two in the summer edition.
Put on your sequin "angle flight" and "loon" bell bottoms, gogo boots, and get ready to dance the night away at our annual Gala, October 18th at Generations Hall.
You'll be seeing this QR code in the future. It represents our new payment system for donations, Gala purchases, mission trip donations, and a lot more. We'll be including it on our business cards, printed materials, and invitations. It offers a quick and convenient method for payment.
PROVIDING AID TO THE NEEDY - Part of our Mission
Back at the warehouse we catalog everything and often have to make repairs to equipment. Recently we had to replace the wheels on about eight gurneys. This effort is accomplished by volunteers!
Then comes the shipment. We have a cargo container delivered to the warehouse and volunteers fill it up. We have to produce an accurate bill of lading. The container will be inspected by the recipient country’s custom agency. It is then loaded on trucks for local delivery to the hospitals and clinics we support. It is hard to calculate the benefits provided to hundreds if not thousands of patients in need.

Our warehouse is at 625 Distributor's Row, in Elmwood Industrial Park, Harahan. Our number is (504) 392-1934. Our hours of operation are Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 9 AM until 1 PM. We are closed for national holidays. We accept donations of medical supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals (in original, sealed containers.)
NOMMS NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM
Part of our mission is to provide medical supplies and equipment to the disadvantaged, both at home and abroad. Multiple times a year we fill a cargo container full of supplies and ship them to distant communities such as Honduras, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic, for example.
This process starts by collecting the supplies, mainly from local hospitals and clinics. We will rent a 24’ truck (or use our own pick-ups) and collect the supplies. Often these trips go to Hammond or Houma or to hospitals in our neighborhood. The supplies vary, including beds, gurneys, dialysis machines, surgical carts, blankets, surgical drapes, or even fluids.
