Tribute Gifts

Honoring Those Who Have Touched Our Lives...

Tribute Gifts offer you a special opportunity to let someone know that they have touched your life in a memorable way. At St. Tammany Health Foundation, we believe there are countless ways to honor or remember others through a Tribute Gift.

  • Tribute Gifts celebrate many of life’s wonderful occasions – the birth of a child, birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries or other important events.
  • Tribute Gifts are a wonderful way to say thank you to someone who has made a difference in your life. Gifts may be made in honor of another that you wish thank or recognize for any reason, such as a friend, relative, neighbor, co-worker, pastor or caregiver.
  • A Memorial Gift is a special way to honor the memory of a friend or loved one who is no longer with us, and is always an appropriate expression of your sympathy for their family.

Whether your gift commemorates an event, honors an individual or memorializes a friend or loved one, the individual or family named by the donor receives a special acknowledgment that a gift has been made in their name. The name of the individual or family will then be inscribed into the leather-bound Book of Tributes permanently on display in the front lobby of St. Tammany Health System.

The amount of your gift is always confidential, and as a valued donor, you may designate your gift to the fund of your choice.

Caregiver Tribute Gift Program

Caregivers are at the Heart of St. Tammany Health System. Is there a doctor, nurse, other staff member or volunteer that made a difference in your care or the care of a loved one while at St. Tammany Health System? Patients and family members can choose to honor that special team member by making a donation to St. Tammany Hospital Foundation as part of the Caregiver Tribute Gift Program.

Grateful Patient Giving

"We of course had a wonderful experience at St. Tammany with the doctors and nurses there. We could not have gotten better care." - Mike Bergeron

Every hospital visit is unique, no matter the circumstances. However, a kind and compassionate caregiver can make a challenging experience into something very positive.

Our caregivers give everything they have and expect nothing in return. Now more than ever, we want to make sure that they understand just how much we appreciate their lifesaving work. Please recognize a caregiver at St. Tammany Health System today.
