St. Tammany Hospital Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, was established to sustain the healing work of the physicians and staff of St. Tammany Health System. Through the development of philanthropic support, the Foundation seeks to fortify the promise to provide world-class healthcare... close to home, now and for generations to come.
Founded in 2003 by a volunteer group of community leaders who recognized that for the hospital to achieve its goals of excellence, it must receive support above and beyond that provided by direct patient services. The foundation exists to provide a comprehensive program of fund development to supplement, enhance and enrich the programs, facilities and services of St. Tammany Health System.
The foundation raises funds through a variety of ways including corporate partnerships and major gifts, planned giving, bequests and charitable gift annuities, tribute gifts and general donations and an annual support program consisting of special events, an employee campaign, a donor cultivation event and a year-end direct mail campaign. In doing this, the Foundation impacts the healthcare and wellbeing of the entire Northshore community.
