70 YEARS OF COMPASSION – AND COUNTING Seventy years ago, on Dec. 1, 1954, St. Tammany Parish Hospital opened its doors with a simple mission: to care for the people of west St. Tammany with quality, compassion and an unwavering sense of community. That mission still defines St.Tammany Health System today, a reminder that while much has changed since that December morning, the heart of the organization has not. From its earliest days, the hospital was built and supported by the community it served. Families, churches and civic groups raised funds, volunteers staffed the halls, and neighbors cared for neighbors. As the parish grew, the health system grew with it, expanding services, strengthening partnerships and earning national recognition for quality and safety. Through every advancement, STHS has remained rooted in Covington as the Northshore’s community hospital – a place where patients are familiar faces and colleagues live in the same neighborhoods as the people they care for. Today, St. Tammany Health System honors that legacy by delivering world-class healthcare close to home and working with schools, nonprofits and civic leaders to support the region’s overall wellbeing. In that way, 70 years is more than an anniversary – it is a testament to the bond between a hospital and the community that has grown up around it, a relationship that continues with the same steady promise to be here whenever care is needed.
