When we at St. Tammany Health System talk about delivering world-class healthcare close to home for our Northshore neighbors, it is not just some empty marketing slogan. It is both a promise and a guiding principle that undergirds everything we do.
We think you will agree the latest issue of our quarterly Heart to Heart magazine speaks to that loudly and clearly.
As announced June 22, St. Tammany Cancer Center – A Campus of Ochsner Medical Center is now one of seven Ochsner-affiliated sites in Southern Louisiana to boast a fully integrated cancer program based on MD Anderson’s standards and treatment plans.
It also represents a truly collaborative effort between St. Tammany Health System, Ochsner Health, and our community physicians and support teams over the past two years to meet the expectations required to earn the honor and distinction of the MD Anderson partnership.
You can read more about this exciting new day for Northshore cancer care in our latest issue of Heart to Heart, which also contains an assortment of other stories that further speak to our commitment to the community we proudly call home.
Among them:
- STHS’s game-changing, nation-leading Musculoskeletal Ultrasound program, which more quickly and efficiently diagnose sports injuries and other soft-tissue injuries.
- STHS's Cardiopulmonary Rehab program, which this year celebrates 25 years of changing lives.
- Our latest Eat Well, Live Well cooking demo, in which kids were invited to take over the kitch. (Recipe included.)
- St. Tammany Hospital Foundation's new Buddies for Life program, which helps plant the seeds of friendship among two at-risk groups.
- STHS Women's Pavilion, which is helping make mammograms more efficient, more comfortable for local women.
