Due to an increase in COVID-positive cases in both the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, all admits and transfers to St. Tammany Parish Hospital will be tested for COVID-19 prior to bed placement, effective Dec. 22, to ensure the safety of all our patients and colleagues.

Pre-op testing requirements will change effective Dec. 30.

For additional information on COVID-19 policies at St. Tammany Health System, visit StTammany.health/COVID19.
