Primary Care
Founded in 1954 as St. Tammany Parish Hospital, St. Tammany Health System has grown over the decades to include numerous primary care clinics throughout western St. Tammany Parish, from our on-site clinic at St. Anthony's Garden assisted living facility to our Express Care walk-in clinic to our St. Tammany Physicians Network clinics, which meet the outpatient needs of the community from newborn to geriatric care in Covington, Mandeville, Folsom and Madisonville.
Whether it’s for acute care, chronic illnesses or an annual physical for your job, school or sports, our board-certified physicians or nurses are on call 24/7 and have convenient access to the wealth of resources St. Tammany Health System has to offer, including:
There are always times when an in-person visit is preferable, but for those times when it’s not – whether you’re suffering from a cold or something more serious – a video visit with your St. Tammany Health System care provider lets you consult with your doctor or nurse electronically without having to so much as pull on your socks.
Because healthcare isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing.
Whether you’ve already got a doctor or you need a new one, our St. Tammany Physicians Network clinics offer traditional primary care visits for the whole family in four convenient locations throughout western St. Tammany Parish:
Not everybody works a regular 9-to-5, which can make getting routine healthcare difficult. With that in mind, St. Tammany Health System operates its Express Care walk-in clinic, which provides all the services you’d expect from a traditional medical office but in non-traditional hours.
In addition to helping detect disease early, when treatment is more effective, in-home wellness visits can also provide those who have chronic conditions with resources to help manage their condition. The best part: It’s all covered by Medicare Part B, so it comes with no additional expense for qualifying patients.
The specialists at our full-service primary-care St. Tammany Pediatrics Clinic are trained and equipped to care for all the little things that slow kids down, as well as delivering a full range of specialty care including cardiology, general surgery, gastroenterology, pulmonology, endocrinology, orthopedics and urology.
If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, please call and let us know as soon as possible as we would like to be able to offer that appointment time to another patient.
When leaving for your primary care appointment, be sure to bring the following:
Patients are seen by appointment Monday through Friday, but in the case of a non-life threatening emergency, you can contact our offices 24 hours a day. Our professional answering service will connect you with the physician on call for after-hours emergencies. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911.
If you need a refill on your medication, call your pharmacy and they will check with your physician regarding refill requirements. Routine prescriptions are filled within 48 hours of request either by the patient or pharmacy. Medications will not be refilled after hours, on weekends or on holidays.
