What is Carville Star?

As one of their ongoing programs, the Voyageurs Militaire offer
continuing support of the publication, "The Carville Star," which
disseminates the information regarding the research into Hansen's
Disease (Leprosy) taking place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

There they have been successful in isolating, controlling and soon,
through their research, the development of a vaccine to prevent
Hansen's Disease.

"The Star" is published at the former United States Public Health
Service Hospital located in Carville, Louisiana.This patient-published
publication carries the research works of not only this center, but
those of the rest of the world, and is translated into and forwarded
to 128 countries in addition to a circulation of more than 60,000
in the United States.
