The St. Tammany Hospital Guild has been a part of the hospital family for over 50 years. This organization is made up of community members, both men and women, who have a very strong love of the area and a desire to help their hospital and fellow citizens.

The Guild donates funds to the hospital through the Gift Shop. They also provide Nursing and Allied Health Scholarships twice a year to deserving hospital employees who are furthering their education in medical fields. The Guild has about 115 members who donate 25,000 hours each year in 20 hospital departments.
