Northlake Pulmonary at STHS: Providing the highest-quality lung care since 1994.

Breathing. It’s one of those things most of us take for granted – until we have trouble doing it.

Since 1994, St. Tammany Parish residents suffering from an array of lung disease have been getting help catching their breath from the experts at Northlake Pulmonary Associates, a vital part of St. Tammany Health System’s litany of specialized healthcare services.

Board-certified in pulmonary and critical care medicine, our physicians specialize in diseases of the lung, including providing care for severely ill patients – usually in the intensive care unit at the health system’s Covington hospital – as well as in sleep-related disorders, such as sleep apnea.

It’s that sort of expertise that has seen St. Tammany Health System earn a wealth of national recognition, including as a 2020 Five-Star Recipient for both treatment of pneumonia and of respiratory failure from Healthgrades.

So breathe easy, St. Tammany. And if you can’t, the experts of Northlake Pulmonary Associates are ready to help.
