A Partner of Ochsner Health

Since 2014, Ochsner Health and St. Tammany Health System (STHS) have been working together to provide residents of western St. Tammany Parish comprehensive, integrated and innovative care.

Through our long-term strategic partnership with STHS, we are reducing healthcare costs for patients while improving quality and increasing local access to care.

More patients are being treated closer to home, while still having access to the nationally recognized specialists and the depth and breadth of care Ochsner is known for. Our collaborations have also led to increases in patient safety and telemedicine consultations, as well as an increase in transfers from St. Tammany to Ochsner for patients with specialized care needs.
