Hungry? After seeing the cover of this issue, featuring Chef Gavin Jobe of Meribo in Covington, and reading the accompanying story and recipe on Page 9, we sure are.
We’re also quite satisfied.
That’s because Chef Gavin was participating in the latest installment of the quarterly Eat Well, Live Well cooking demonstration series co-hosted by Healthier Northshore.
That group, near and dear to our heart, is a coalition of like-minded community stakeholders founded in part by St. Tammany Health System with the goal of improving local population health metrics.
It hit a homerun last spring when it planted a community garden on the Safe Haven campus in Mandeville. The Eat Well, Live Well series is a beautifully conceived outgrowth of that project, and we hope you enjoy Chef Gavin’s recipe – and a couple of lagniappe recipes we threw in for fun – on page 8 and 9.
It’s just one of the stories you’ll find in the issues. Among the others:
- STHS cardiologist Dr. Paul Stahls discusses electrophysiology and how it is changing the face of heart care.
- Our STHS team members share their expertise and answer your questions in our new “Ask the STHS Experts” feature.
- Meet the newest STHS nurses to win the coveted Daisy Award.
- After 43 years, and by one estimate, some 200,000 patient interactions, a longtime local pediatrician retires.
- St. Tammany Hospital Foundation has three new board members. Find out who they are and read their stories.
