St. Tammany Health System: Where passion and purpose come together.

 

More than a job

 

At St. Tammany Health System, we work hard to provide nothing less than world-class healthcare close to home for our neighbors on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. To deliver it, we are committed to attracting and retaining the very best professionals for every position in our health system.

 

That includes offering a full suite of generous benefits for our colleagues, as well as a working environment that is as congenial and collegial as it is professional.

 

Also, though, there’s the uniquely pristine beauty of St. Tammany Parish, which offers the comforts of country living alongside the diversity, the attractions and the one-of-a-kind culture of New Orleans, which is only a lake away.

 

In addition to our community’s well-established family-friendly atmosphere, locals appreciate the strength of the St. Tammany Parish Public School System, which has for decades ranked as one of Louisiana’s finest and which hosts a number of federally recognized Presidential Blue Ribbon schools. This success is evidenced by students’ consistently high scores on national standardized tests.

 

Simply put, St. Tammany is a great place live – and that helps make St. Tammany Health System a great place to work.
