Following new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Louisiana Department of Health, St. Tammany Health System is now accepting COVID-19 vaccine appointments for children as young as 12 years old.

St. Tammany Health System has achieved a five-star overall rating from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in its 2021 rankings, reflecting how well STHS performs treating heart attacks and pneumonia, readmission rates and safety of patient care.

Spring has officially sprung on the Northshore, and so has the latest issue of Heart to Heart magazine, St. Tammany Health System’s quarterly publication covering all the things happening at the parish’s oldest hospital – and, brother, are things ever happening.

St. Tammany Health System’s Covington hospital is one of just 332 nationwide, nine in Louisiana and the only one in the New Orleans metro area to achieve a Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) rate of zero in recently released figures from Becker’s Hospital Review, publishing data compiled throughout 2019.
