Earlier this month we were honored to host Louisiana's First Lady, Donna Edwards at our recently opened Eden Emergency Center. We were excited to join as a community in celebration of this new shelter for survivors of human trafficking.
Event speakers included Eden Centers’ Clinical Director, Jennifer Best, and Graduate and current Support Staff member, Kelly Malcolm. Kelly gave a moving speech about her experience at Eden Centers and the hopes she has for the new facility. Kara Van De Carr, Founder and President of Eden Centers, and Greg Feirn, CEO of LCMC Health, spoke of their gratitude for our partnership that has created the first ever low-barrier shelter connected to a hospital. Louisiana's First Lady Donna Edwards then spoke about her current work with The Louisiana First Foundation that strives to prevent human trafficking and her plans to continue to dedicate herself to this work once her husband's term as Governor is over.
We are grateful to all who attended and joined us to show their support for our ongoing efforts to eradicate human trafficking.
