We are just one month in, but 2025 is already shaping up to be unpredictable – and nothing demonstrates that better than the legion of tiny snowmen currently occupying freezers across South Louisiana.

If you had “once-in-a-generation snowfall” on your 2025 Bingo card, you deserve whatever prize is coming your way.  

To many, last week's Sneauxmageddon was wondrous. To those who forgot to wrap their pipes, it was something else altogether. Either way, it was certainly memorable – and that’s not nothing.

Now that we have all had a chance to thaw out, we would like to take this opportunity to tip our cap to our steadfast STHS colleagues who manned the fort at our flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital throughout the winter storm, and especially those staffing the hospital’s Emergency Department and our standalone ED in Mandeville.

As always, both stayed open around the clock so our colleagues could continue to serve the community (and make the occasional snow angel). Also as always, we couldn’t be prouder to work alongside them – and, indeed, alongside all of our colleagues.

The weather may be unpredictable, but the care providers at every level of St. Tammany Health System proved once more that they are nothing if not dependable.

Below, you can read more about what they are up to in this latest batch of stories from our St. Tammany Health System newsroom. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed pulling them together.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for trusting St. Tammany Health System with your family’s care.
