Who We Are

ABOUT US

Founded in 2003 by a volunteer group of community leaders, St. Tammany Hospital Foundation was established to sustain the healing work of the physicians and staff of St. Tammany Health System. 

 

Providing a comprehensive program of fund development, the Foundation supplements, enhances and enriches the programs, facilities and services of St. Tammany Health System.

 

In 2024, in order to expand the Foundation's reach to meet the growing needs of St. Tammany Health System, the Hospital Foundation became St. Tammany Health Foundation. The Foundation no longer supports just the flagship facility of St. Tammany Parish Hospital, but a regional health system comprised of a state-of-the-art hospital and nearly 30 off-site facilities. The name St. Tammany Health Foundation conveys that our donors can make a difference in the health and well-being of this community. 


The Foundation raises funds through a variety of ways including corporate partnerships and major gifts, scholarships and endowments, planned giving, bequests and charitable gift annuities, tribute gifts and general donations and an annual support program consisting of special events, an employee campaign, a donor cultivation event and a year-end direct mail campaign. In doing this, the Foundation impacts the healthcare and wellbeing of the entire Northshore community.

We support and enhance the work of St. Tammany Health System as it leads with innovation and cares for its patients and their families with excellence, compassion and teamwork. Through generous donors, we help our neighbors and the community heal and live healthy, fulfilling lives. 


VISION
