St. Tammany Health System President and CEO Joan Coffman has been named one of 2025’s Community Hospital CEOs to Know by Becker’s Hospital Review.

“Community hospitals play a vital role in closing healthcare access gaps, and the CEOs who lead them are committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective care tailored to the needs of their local communities,” Becker’s wrote in introducing the list.

 “While many community hospitals focus on acute care,” it continued, “these forward-thinking CEOs are also expanding services to include primary care, specialty treatments, rehabilitation, public health programs and beyond. They are responsible for shaping a positive workplace culture, steering long-term strategy, growing service lines and ensuring financial sustainability, all with their communities at the heart.”

The full list, which includes 207 names, was published July 11. Visit the Becker’s website for the full list, which includes brief profiles on those executives spotlighted – and congratulations to Joan!
