Want to know how long the wait is at St. Tammany Health System’s ER? Need to find a local physician? Want to catch up the latest news from STHS?
Now, there’s an app for that.
A few months after launching its new website, the health system has gone live with its companion app, which is available free for both Apple and Android devices. Simply search “St. Tammany Health System” in the respective app store, then download and install it.
Among other things, the new app helps patients:
- Find wait times for the health system’s main campus ER, its Pediatric ER, its standalone ER across from the Mandeville Post Office and its Express Care walk-in clinic.
- Find a care provider in the western St. Tammany area, searchable by name, specialty or keyword.
- Find information on all St. Tammany Health System facilities, including driving directions.
- Link to the MyChart app, where you can find your latest health information, including test results.
- Peruse a news feed of the latest announcements and events at St. Tammany Health System.
“One of the main goals, both with the new website and the new app, is to help patients more easily harness all the exciting new digital health tools that are changing the face of healthcare,” said Craig Doyle, the health system’s VP/CIO Information Systems. “And I think we’ve done that.”
He added: “St. Tammany Health System has long prided itself on its ability to deliver world-class health care close to home. Now, particularly with the new STHS app, we’re putting world-class healthcare into the palm of your hand.”
