St. Tammany Health System

What St. Tammany Health System does

St. Tammany Health System (STHS) is a non-profit public healthcare system serving the Northshore Louisiana region. Founded in 1954 as St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington, it is operated as a service district of St. Tammany Parish and governed by the St. Tammany Parish Council. STHS runs a 330-bed flagship acute care hospital plus 17+ satellite locations including three emergency departments (Hospital ER, Mandeville ER, Pediatric ER), seven St. Tammany Physicians Network primary care clinics, the St. Tammany Cancer Center (operated as a Campus of Ochsner Medical Center), a $75 million Surgery Center with the da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system, a 22,000-square-foot Cardiology Center, the New Family Center for maternity services, the Parenting Center, the Paul D. Cordes Outpatient Pavilion, a retail pharmacy, and home health/hospice services. Its core technology stack includes Electronic Health Records with the MyChart patient portal, MyChart Central (the first statewide unified patient portal in the U.S.), telehealth and video visit platforms, text-based patient messaging, the Abbott GLP Track automated laboratory solution, an AI imaging follow-up system, and the Breathe Well ConneCTion mobile lung screening unit.

The health system serves a broad community-based patient base across general medicine, women and children, cancer care, cardiology, primary care, emergency care, home-based care, and neurodiverse patients through the St. Tammany Autism Initiative. Revenue is generated through patient care services reimbursed by insurance (Aetna, BlueCross, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare), Medicare, Medicaid, and direct patient payments, with published cash pricing for transparency (e.g., MRI $897, colonoscopy $2,100, C-section $5,500 facility-only). Specialty care is delivered through a strategic partnership with Ochsner Health System, which provides access to the Ochsner MD Anderson Cancer Center and broader academic medicine resources. The system also operates the St. Tammany Hospital Foundation (fundraising) and the St. Tammany Hospital Guild (135+ volunteers contributing 200,556 volunteer hours valued at over $3.2 million between 2010-2018), a community ecosystem that is unusual for the sector. STHS holds 21 consecutive Leapfrog 'A' grades for patient safety (longest active streak in Louisiana), Newsweek World’s Best Hospitals recognition (5th in Louisiana for 2026), Healthgrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award (top 5% nationally), and numerous specialty accreditations across cancer, stroke, maternity, sleep medicine, critical care, and diabetes care.
