Awards and Accreditations

We don’t want to brag …

(But we’re going to, anyway.)




Since 1954, St. Tammany Health System has been the premier place for delivery of comprehensive and trusted healthcare on the Northshore. That’s true now more than ever. 

 

But don’t just take our word for it. St. Tammany Health System consistently earns local, regional and national recognition for safety, quality and service excellence. Find a sampling below. 


While no other Northshore health system rivals these achievements, national awards pale in comparison to the endorsement of our own patients, neighbors, colleagues and physicians, who overwhelmingly say they would recommend St. Tammany Health System to their loved ones in need of care.
