Local physicians and healthcare leaders gathered Thursday evening (March 26) at the Southern Hotel in Covington for St. Tammany Quality Network’s 2026 Annual Membership Meeting, an opportunity to connect, collaborate and take a closer look at the evolving healthcare landscape in Louisiana.
The evening featured a candid, wide-ranging conversation with leadership from Louisiana Department of Health Secretary Bruce Greenstein and Undersecretary Drew Maranto, offering insight into statewide efforts to improve outcomes and expand access to care. Framed as a fireside chat, the discussion brought together state officials and local healthcare leaders for a thoughtful exchange on the challenges and opportunities shaping care delivery today.
From networking over dinner to a closing roundtable discussion, the event underscored STQN’s mission as a physician-led collaborative focused on delivering high-quality, affordable care to patients across the Northshore — and the vital role partnership plays in advancing that work.
