LSUHS Internal Medicine Residency Program recently established a new committee, "Community Connections", to foster work in the community.   Their first project was to provide supplies for one room at Providence House. Money was raised to purchase sheets, bedding, pillows, bed side tables, lamps, mirror, fan, cleaning supplies and personal care items. The plan is to continue sponsoring one room at a time.
