Heart failure is a lifelong condition in which the heart muscle can't pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs for blood and oxygen. Basically, the heart can’t keep up with its workload.


The prevalence and risk for heart failure is increasing with an estimated 6.7 million adults having the condition.


With this ever growing  disease, St Tammany Health system has assembled a team of healthcare professionals  to aid in the coordination, management, and prevention of heart failure (Heart Failure Program).


The Transitions of Care Heart Failure Program at STHS is a home-care-based program  providing specialized  care to patients with heart failure for 90 days after discharge from the hospital.  Assessment, evaluation, management,  prevention,  coordination amongst specialties, and ongoing monitoring are  at the core of the heart failure program with an overall goal of maintaining health  and avoiding risk factors that may lead to hospitalization or poor health outcomes.
