Eight St. Tammany Health System employees received a total of $13,000 in scholarships this month from the St. Tammany Hospital Guild and the Health System’s Medical Staff Committee.

The guild, an all-volunteer organization that raises money for the hospital through various means including operation of the hospital’s gift shop, awarded six scholarships for fall 2023 to health system employees pursing education to further their medical careers. Each of the guild scholarships are worth $1,500.

The six recipients for fall 2023 are:

  • Allyson Bridges, a registered nurse working in Critical Care at the health system’s flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital.
  • Madelyn Goodey, a mobility tech in the hospital’s Patient Mobility Department.
  • Bridget Higgins, a registered nurse at the health system’s standalone Mandeville Emergency Department.
  • Tyler McGhee, a nurse resident in the hospital’s Adult ICU.
  • Shekira Price, a licensed practical nurse in the hospital’s General Medicine Department.
  • Rusty West, a registered nurse in the hospital’s Surgery Department.

Additionally, the Medical Staff Committee awarded its fall 2023 Nursing Scholarships, worth $2,000 each, to:

  • Patrick Dowd, a team leader in the hospital’s Surgery Department.
  • Alexis Edwards, an LPN unit assistant in Oncology Medicine.
