Outreach and Education

‘We are the heartbeat of our community’

At St. Tammany Health System, we’re more than just a hospital.


Community outreach

At St. Tammany Health System, our mission statement is clear and straightforward: “We are the heartbeat of our community, caring for our patients and their families with excellence, compassion and teamwork.” 


To live up to that mission, we do much more than heal the sick. We also work diligently to promote education and wellness throughout the Northshore communities we serve, all in the hope of giving local residents the information, tools and guidance they need to lead their happiest, healthiest lives. 


From our diabetes education program to our Living Tobacco Free program to the regular community events we hold year-round, we’re always looking for new ways to keep the community informed. 


Below, find links highlighting a sampling of our ongoing outreach efforts, and feel free to reach out us directly via the Contact Us page on this website if you have any questions or concerns you’d like to express.
