✨ Making the grade ✨

The first edition of Heart to Heart of 2026 has arrived, and in that fresh-start spirit that the new year always brings, frequent readers will notice we have given it a bit of a refresh. What has not changed, as evidenced by this issue’s cover story – about our best-in-Louisiana streak of “A” grades for patient safety – is our dedication to highlighting the compassionate work of the people who bring our mission to life, from the colleagues providing exceptional care to the neighbors who entrust us with their health.

🌟 Happy National Caregivers Day 🌟

Today, we proudly celebrate the compassionate caregivers of St. Tammany Health System — the nurses, physicians, therapists, technicians, support staff, volunteers and family members who show up every day with skill, empathy and heart.

Caregiving is at the core of our healing mission. It’s found in the comforting words shared at a bedside, the extra time spent answering questions, the teamwork behind the scenes and the unwavering commitment to putting patients first. ❤️
