Summer’s here, and that can only mean one thing: Road trip!
Of course, road trips this year aren’t exactly like road trips in pre-COVID times. (What is, right?) But then, our Be Well Bus isn’t your ordinary road trip vehicle, either.
A 40-foot, custom-built motorcoach packed with all manner of health screening gear, it’s the cover model for our latest issue of Heart to Heart magazine, St. Tammany Health System’s quarterly publication covering all the things happening at the parish’s oldest hospital.
Among the other stories featured in this edition:
- The new St. Tammany Cancer Center, a campus of Ochsner Medical, is officially open. The 75,000-square-foot, three-story facility is being characterized as a game-changer, offering locals the most comprehensive cancer treatment program in one place on the Northshore.
- It’s a cancer center first and foremost, but the new facility at I-12 and Highway 21 is also an art gallery in its own right. Find out how the team at St. Tammany Hospital Foundation managed to pull together a gallery’s worth of work from local artist to adorn its walls -- and on an impossibly tight deadline, no less.
- Covington woodworker Ben Bigler shares his full-circle story, in which, following a tragic workshop accident, he went from being a patient at St. Tammany Health System to the creator of a singular piece of furniture for the hospital’s new patient tower.
Read those stories and more in the summer 2021 issue of Heart to Heart, a complimentary copy of which you’ll find in your mailbox or – if you’re in the neighborhood – at our Covington hospital.
