Year-End Giving
At the end of each year, many donors turn their thoughts toward charitable giving. It is an opportunity to not only make an impact that year for a cause that is important to them, but also to receive a charitable deduction for the tax year. Every gift, no matter the size, has significant and meaningful impact to the needs of St. Tammany Parish Hospital in caring for our community.
While one of the most popular ways to support the work of St. Tammany Hospital Foundation is through gifts of cash that can be given outright or pledged over three-to-five years, the foundation also offers a huge range of additional giving opportunities, including non-cash gifts such as real estate, securities or insurance policies and planned gifts like charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and most importantly, bequests.

 The STPH Parenting Center's Monster Mash presented by
Metairie Bank Northshore celebrated 30 years of family fun last month at Bogue Falaya Park in Covington. The event featured live music by Bag of Donuts, the community-favorite Trick-or-Treat Village, games, attractions, prize drawings, the Princess & Pirate Party and so much more.
Major sponsors included Metairie Bank Northshore, Community Coffee, St. Tammany Parish Hospital, Ochsner and POOLCORP.
More than $75,000 was raised to support the Parenting Center, a facility that provides vital programs and services to families in our Northshore region, many offered at little or no cost to the community. For more information on the center's programs, visit

On Thursday, November 1, the foundation hosted its annual Donor Cultivation breakfast.
 This event is an opportunity to bring foundation and hospital leadership together with donors and friends to bring them up to speed on the work of the hospital.
This year, St. Tammany Parish Hospital CEO, Joan Coffman, and COO, Sharon Toups, presented on the vision of the hospital's future, the upcoming expansion and the potential new technology that will be incorporated into care delivery.
Echoing the importance of technology innovation were Dr. Paul Stahls, electrophysiologist with Covington Cardiovascular Care, and Bert Lindsey, STPH rehabilitation services manager.
Dr. Stahls spoke about the cardiac care program at STPH and the new cath lab with a state-of-the-art bi-plane catheter machine that was recently introduced, allowing him and his colleagues to treat more patients, more effectively. It is his hope that STPH will soon become a destination for cardiac care in our state.
Bert Lindsey discussed his department's efforts to treat chronic or acute musculoskeletal pain without the use of opioid medications in an attempt to combat opioid dependence before it starts. His program has received national recognition for its work on making non-pharmacological modalities the norm, as we fight an increasingly troublesome opioid epidemic.
Thank you to everyone who attended. This event continues to be a great way for the foundation to spotlight growing programs while demonstrating how it partners with the hospital to improve quality care, access to care and meet the healthcare needs of our community through the generosity of our donors.
