Healthcare Heroes
We believe we share the community’s weariness as we all witnessed the parish positivity rate shoot up to the highest category on the state’s community risk scale and St. Tammany Health System's COVID inpatient census double in a week. The Delta variant has proved to be 250% more contagious than the original virus and our vaccine rate remains one of the lowest in the nation.
No one is more prepared for this surge than the team at STHS. Our incredible colleagues have once again mobilized to care for our community. We are here to vaccinate you if you still require it. We are here to test you if you feel ill. We are here to care for you and those you love whether they are sick at home or within the walls of our hospital. Together, we are committed to keeping this community healthy.
At St. Tammany Health Foundation, we believe Keeping St. Tammany Health System Healthy Keeps Our Community Healthy. The spike in cases has put a tremendous emotional and physical strain on our hospital’s workforce and has challenged our staff's resilience. We believe it is our responsibility to support our Healthcare Heroes as they support the community. Will you join us?
Last year, you overwhelmed us with generosity, heralding our Healthcare Heroes. Your contributions energized and inspired them, and they need this demonstration of appreciation again. Help us lift up these Heroes with displays of support and gratitude.
How you can help spread joy!
