A building boom has come to St. Tammany Health System, but it’s not all bricks and mortar.

Sure, a new four-story patient tower is nearing completion at the health system’s hospital campus in Covington. Work also continues on a new cancer center near Interstate 12 and Highway 22, a joint venture of STHS and partner Ochsner Health. And construction was recently completed on an expansion of our St. Tammany Physician’s Network Clinic in Mandeville. 

But behind the scenes, a team of techies has been building out the health system’s new digital home, in the form of a new website and a new web address – both of which are now live – and a new mobile app, which will soon be available for free download on both Apple and Android devices.

“The new URL, StTammany.Health, reflects our new name, launched this time last year to better convey the scope and breadth of care available to our patients and their families throughout our service district,” AVP/Communication Melissa Hodgson said. “We will always be this community’s hospital, but we’re so much more than that, with national recognition for quality, safety and patient experience from the latest robotic surgical technology to our family practices in every corner of west St. Tammany.”

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. And I think we've done that."

-- Craig Doyle, St. Tammany Health System VP/CIO Information Systems

The most obvious change to the website is its cleaner, more modern look and feel. Even more significantly, however, is that it was designed with the patient experience in mind. That means more intuitive navigation and a more robust search function, both of which are intended to help patients and visitors find the information they need more easily, Hodgson said.

The new site also includes a more robust Newsroom section, to help health system leadership connect more quickly and efficiently with the Northshore community.

Together, it and the new STHS app are helping usher in a new age of healthcare in St. Tammany Parish, according to Craig Doyle, the health system’s VP/CIO Information Systems. 

“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,” Doyle said. “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.”
