COVINGTON – St. Tammany Health System leadership was joined by local dignitaries and residents on Tuesday, June 24, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of its newest St. Tammany Physicians Network primary care clinic, located just outside the Money Hill subdivision in the Bush/Waldheim area of St. Tammany Parish.
The 5,034-square-foot clinic, at 79636 Louisiana 21, is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Same-day appointments are available.
According to St. Tammany Health System President and CEO Joan Coffman, the opening of the clinic fits neatly into the health system’s overarching mission to meet the growing needs of local residents by keeping pace with the Northshore’s continued population growth.
“Our goal has always been to have a clinic within a 10-minute drive of all of our patients, both as a convenience to them and also as a fulfillment of our promise to provide world-class healthcare close to home for our Northshore neighbors,” St. Tammany Health System President and CEO Joan Coffman said. “So, we are so pleased and grateful to be able to offer primary care services here in Bush. It’s been a journey to get here but worth the wait, as many of you already seek care at our flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital.”
In addition to providing convenient access to primary care for the whole family, the Money Hill clinic includes on-site capabilities including lab draws and X-rays. It will also host regular visits from the health system’s Be Well Bus and its new Breathe Well ConneCTion mobile screening units, making access to life-saving 3-D mammography and lung CT scans as convenient as they have ever been for local residents.
“Welcoming St. Tammany Health System to the Money Hill community is a tremendous benefit – not just for us, but for the entire region,” said Mimi Goodyear Dossett, president of Money Hill. “Their proven track record of delivering high-quality, dependable care and their deep commitment to the people of St. Tammany give me great confidence in what they bring to our growing community.”
