Every new year brings ample reason to rejoice, of course. But 2024 is shaping up to be particularly worthy of celebration here at St. Tammany Health System.
Part of that is because of the myriad groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings we have in store as we continue expanding to meet the needs of our fast-growing Northshore community.
Also, though, this year will bring a milestone anniversary for us. On Dec. 1, 2024, we will mark the 70th anniversary of our founding as St. Tammany Parish Hospital.
We are so excited that we have already started the celebration, as reflected on the cover of our latest edition of Heart to Heart, which features a photograph of the silver cup given to the first baby born at St. Tammany Parish Hospital on Dec. 2, 1954.
It is one of a number of STHS history stories we have planned as we count down to our big day – but, 60,000 births later, it is easily among our favorites.
