COVINGTON – St. Tammany Quality Network (STQN) has presented its third-quarter Medical Director’s Award to Dr. Seth McVea for his outstanding performance in achieving pediatric quality goals. These goals measure completion of annual well child visits and immunization compliance, effective asthma treatment, and appropriate specialty medication monitoring.
“Dr. McVea provides excellent care for his patients. He has a unique and effective way of putting patients and their families at ease while tackling difficult issues,” STQN Medical Director Dr. Michael Hill said. “Dr. McVea collaborates well with the pediatric staff and has great ideas on improving patient care delivery.”
Dr. McVea is part of the St. Tammany Physician’s Network pediatric team. In spring 2024, he and his fellow pediatricians helped open the new St. Tammany Pediatrics clinic in Mandeville, which includes an integrated Express Care Kids afterhours and walk-in clinic. The main clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Express Care Kids is open from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
He is also a fixture at local community outreach events, most recently appearing this month on the St. Tammany Health System podcast Northshore Healthbeat to answer listeners’ questions.
Dr. McVea has been on the medical staff of St. Tammany Health System since 2022. He grew up in Franklinton and graduated from LSU Medical School before completing his pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans.
In his spare time, Dr. McVea enjoys tennis, working in the yard and traveling with his wife.
St. Tammany Quality Network continuously strives to define and improve the healthcare needs of our community. Promoting wellness is a key component of this quest.
