COVINGTON – The St. Tammany Pediatrics family is growing.

St. Tammany Health System has announced an expansion of its pediatric practice into the heart of Mandeville, with the planned opening in spring 2024 of a new St. Tammany Pediatrics clinic and an integrated Express Care for Kids afterhours and weekend clinic all under one roof at 3663 U.S. Highway 190.

“In St. Tammany Parish, we’re all about family,” health system President and CEO Joan Coffman said. “And at St. Tammany Health System, we’re all about making it as convenient as possible for local families to get world-class healthcare. This innovative clinic setup was designed to do just that.”

New and existing patients can schedule appointments or walk in for an appointment with any of the clinic’s care providers during normal operating hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Additionally, they can make afterhours and weekend visits to Express Care for Kids, a walk-in clinic that – like the health system’s Express Care walk-in clinic in Covington – provides traditional primary care services including well-child visits during nontraditional office hours for the convenience of local families.

Express Care visits are billed like a traditional office visit, so copay amounts are much lower than those for a typical urgent care visit.

Between traditional office visits and Express Care availability, patients will be able to make office visits at the new clinic between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.

Drs. Seth McVea and Jennifer Miles, who currently see pediatric patients at the St. Tammany Physician Network office in Mandeville, will relocate to the new clinic, along with Nurse Practitioner Perry Russell.

Drs. Rob Faucheaux, Linda Keefer and Margaret Leefe will continue seeing pediatrics patients at the St. Tammany Physicians Network clinic in Madisonville.
