You’ve watched it rise from a former parking lot at St. Tammany Health System’s main hospital campus on South Tyler Street in Covington. Now, local nurses are being invited to get an in-person look inside the four-story, $56 million patient care tower that has been dubbed “The House That Nurses Built.”
On May 25, STHS’s nursing leaders will host an open house and hiring event that will include guided tours of the new facility, catered refreshments, door prizes and on-site interviews for those interested in joining the STHS family.
The event will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. No reservations are required.
Those with questions or seeking more information can contact Tommie Galloway at 985-898-4415 or tgalloway@stph.org.
Completed in April 2021, St. Tammany Health System’s new South Tower was built with continuous input from nurses, doctors and other caregivers, starting in the design stage and continuing throughout construction. The result is a facility that utilizes some of the latest medical technology but with patient comfort and the needs of nurses in mind.
Read more about it in the spring 2021 issue of Heart to Heart magazine.
