Happy New Year!
I don’t know about you, but I have never been more excited to hang up a new calendar. Of course, while many of the challenges of 2020 will linger for some time to come, the ushering in of 2021 gives us all a renewed sense of hope and energy as we continue to face down the COVID-19 pandemic and navigate our new normal.
But even beyond that, we at St. Tammany Hospital Foundation have much to look forward to in 2021.
The growth of St. Tammany Health System has given us a variety of new ways for donors to make a difference. We are proud to offer support opportunities for initiatives such as our growing Robotics program and other technology advancements, expanded pediatric offerings, healing arts in our new expansion and, of course, our evolving cancer program.
As the new cancer center we’re building with our partners at Ochsner Health comes online this summer, donors will be able to make a direct impact on patient care through initiatives such as mobile mammography, community outreach and cancer screenings, the Therapeutic Food Pantry, mental health services, transportation grants, music therapy, Integrative Medicine and much more. In fact, the foundation is hiring a new team member dedicated to philanthropic support of our cancer program, and we can’t wait to introduce you!
