ST. TAMMANY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION WELCOMES
2 NEW BOARD MEMBERS

COVINGTON - A Northshore internal-medicine specialist and a local entrepreneur have joined the St. Tammany Hospital Foundation’s board of trustees.

New Orleans-native Glen Kesler MD is a primary-care physician with St. Tammany Physicians Network in the Covington office.

Dr. Kesler’s focus is helping patients stay healthy by preventing health problems before they arise. The board-certified internal medicine physician graduated from the University of New Orleans. A fan of the New Orleans Saints, Dr. Kesler also enjoys boating and regional festivals.

He studied medicine at Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and serves on the STPN board of directors.

“This is an excellent hospital, and I’d like to do what I can to help assure its future success,” Dr. Kesler said.

In recent years, Jenny Mutter, founder and owner of Hestia Luxury in Linens in Covington, has supported the foundation’s Heart of Fashion fundraiser by donating gifts for guests and decorations for the event that supports pediatric advancement at STPH.

The Mandeville native is especially excited about the addition of a pediatric treatment area in the hospital’s Emergency Department, which is undergoing a nearly $22 million expansion to better meet the needs of the growing community.

“It’s important to be able to get your children emergency care right here in the community,” she said.

In addition to her involvement with several Northshore charitable organizations, she and her family enjoy biking, spending time outdoors and exploring New Orleans.

Both new board members are longtime supporters of the foundation, said Charley Strickland, STH Foundation executive director.

“We are genuinely pleased to welcome these valuable community leaders to the foundation’s board of trustees,” Strickland said.
