Life can be unpredictable. Sometimes that’s a good thing. Other times, it lands you in the ER.
Luckily for you, St. Tammany Health System operates two fully staffed and accredited emergency rooms around the clock and 365 days a year.
Our Covington Emergency Department, part of St. Tammany Parish Hospital, is an accredited chest pain center and level 3 trauma center that has earned the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers.
It also includes the region’s only dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department, which has been designated a Certified Autism Center by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards -- to make sure all of our patients feel safe and comfortable -- and boasts its own kid-friendly waiting room, child-sized treatment rooms and dedicated physicians and nursing staff.
Then there’s our Mandeville Emergency Department, a full-service, free-standing facility across the street from the Mandeville Post Office on U.S. 190 that expands the reach of our board-certified emergency medicine specialists – while shortening the drive for those living in the neighborhood.
Like our Covington facility, our Mandeville ED staff is trained to treat emergent health situations including heart attack and stroke, and with access to Ochsner vascular neurologists via TeleStroke.
So, go ahead. Live life.
And when the unexpected happens, rely on St. Tammany Health System.
