Cancer Care

World-Class cancer care, close to home.



The care you need—here in your backyard

A truly remarkable cancer care program is comprised of many facets. Together, St. Tammany Health System and Ochsner Health are providing a comprehensive cancer care experience for their patients in a groundbreaking, collaborative approach to integrated cancer care, a philosophy in which a multidisciplinary team of cancer experts work to treat the whole patient rather than just the disease right here where patients most want to be – HOME. ​


At St. Tammany Hospital Foundation, we are committed to supporting the work of St. Tammany Health System and Ochsner Health in the cancer center. For years, the generosity of individual and business donors and community leaders has helped transform the future of healthcare within our community. This support has allowed us to serve thousands of patients and their families by providing exceptional care, innovative technologies, and supportive services in the communities in where they live. ​
