ST TAMMANY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

What ST TAMMANY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION does

St. Tammany Health Foundation (formerly St. Tammany Hospital Foundation) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, operating as the exclusive philanthropic arm of St. Tammany Health System. The foundation supports the system's 281-bed St. Tammany Parish Hospital, three diagnostic centers, and 12 medical clinics across western St. Tammany Parish, raising and deploying charitable contributions to fund equipment, technology, programs, and community health initiatives for Northshore Louisiana residents. It was rebranded from St. Tammany Hospital Foundation to St. Tammany Health Foundation in July 2024.

The foundation's service portfolio combines a calendar of annual fundraising events (THE Gala benefiting cancer care, the Get Lucky! Golf Tournament supporting physicians and staff, Monster Mash community festival, Angels of Light tree lighting for hospice, and the newly launched Walking with Angels remembrance walk) with structured giving programs including planned giving, tribute gifts, endowments, bequests, and corporate sponsorships. Programmatic initiatives span the Healing Arts Initiative and Rotating Gallery Series (active since 2004, awarded the 2022 President's Arts Award), the Power of Pink breast cancer awareness campaign, Autism Awareness across multiple Certified Autism Center departments, the Parenting Center (since 1987), and the Honor Red White and Blue veteran recognition program. Technology-backed programmatic assets include the Be Well Bus mobile screening unit (breast and skin cancer screenings since 2021) and a first-in-region mobile lung cancer screening unit equipped with AI-powered CT technology launched in 2025.

Revenue is sourced exclusively from donations across five streams: corporate partnerships and major gifts, planned giving instruments (charitable gift annuities, securities, real estate), special event proceeds, tribute gifts, and an annual support program combining an employee campaign with year-end direct mail. Documented inflows include a $500,000 Rich Mauti Cancer Fund grant (September 2024), a record $203,000 raised at THE Gala 2021, approximately $50,000 annualized from the decade-long Get Lucky! Golf Tournament, $41,000 from the St. Tammany Hospital Guild in 2022, and $30,600 from the LWCC Foundation in 2021. The foundation operates with a lean team of nine employees, is led by Executive Director Nicole Suhre (appointed January 2021) and Chairman of the Board Will Trist, and does not publicly disclose annual financial statements.
