在圣徒的脚跟上胜利，这周的大容易赢得了另一个大胜利，这次​​以474.8百万美元的法律支付的形式。但保存者已经处理了一个重大打击他们的斗争为了拯救新奥尔良70岁的慈善医院，以及该市中市区的历史家园和结构的一流。在过去的四年中，路易斯安那州官员一直在飓风卡特里娜飓风对慈善机构的损害的范围内有法国的伐木人士，自暴风雨以来一直在百次。周三，联邦仲裁小组命令FEMA为国有医院支付几乎所有要求的更换成本。该裁决是城市和州官员的胜利，他们认为慈善机构遭受飓风损坏的50％以上，因此有资格更换，而不是维修。

作为一个报道2009年7月, the decision was seen as vital to advancing a Mid-City biomedical development plan that would place the new Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital (already funded by Congress) alongside a new LSU medical center to be built with state funds, revenue bonds, and FEMA’s compensation for Charity, formerly the school’s teaching hospital. Preservationists argued that the plan would destroy the iconic art deco hospital and a slew of historic structures, and pushed their ideas for an全面改装建筑物。

路易斯安那州州长鲍比金达尔，谁鼓掌the panel’s decision, said $40 million in Community Block Grant money has already been set aside to find a new use for Charity—but with the National Trust still disputing the Mid-City development plans on environmental grounds, New Orleans is far from getting the medical care it needs.
