  abstract = {{T}his think-piece presents an exploratory research conducted in {N}ew {O}rleans in {F}ebruary 2015. {I} took great interest in the history - distant and recent - of {C}harity {H}ospital, a big public hospital of {N}ew {O}rleans parish established in 1736 which provided accessible yet excellent services for all. {S}ince the 1930s this hospital was embodied in the collective identity throughout the specific urban history of racial segregation and poverty becoming emblematic of welfare for disadvantaged and {A}fro-{A}merican populations. {A}lthough also emblematic of solidarity during hurricane {K}atrina, this hospital was nonetheless closed in the aftermath of the storm. {I}t was never re-opened despite intense collective attachment and huge health needs. {A} case of disaster capitalism ({K}lein, 2007; {O}tt, 2012), the damaged infrastructure serves as an excuse for state authorities to get rid of the "{C}harity system" and accessible healthcare for all. {D}espite years of collective mobilizations and several plans to reuse and reopen {C}harity, the gigantic {A}rt {D}eco building is in ruins and a brand new hospital complex "up to the standard" has opened a few streets away within a new "biodistrict" neighborhood. {T}his text presents a few ideas that have nourished my research on hospitals' political economy and the collective sense of belonging to health infrastructures.},
