HOSPICE OF ST. TAMMANY

Dignity, healthcare and compassion. Nothing less will do.


Hospice

Hospice of St. Tammany recognizes the personal worth and dignity of every individual from conception to death and believes that death, as the final stage of living, is a natural process. We neither hasten nor postpone death. Rather, we affirm life and believe people should have choices in order to live their best life in the final stages of their journey.


Using that philosophy as a guiding principle, the St. Tammany Health System Hospice program provides palliative and supportive care to terminally ill patients and their families in the home through an interdisciplinary team that addresses physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.


Contact us today for more information about our Hospice program, which handles all Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and workers' comp billing for our patients, and accepts assignment on covered service.


Hospice of St. Tammany is a member of the Louisiana/Mississippi Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
