Heart Failure Program
Please pardon our dust while we build a bigger, better St. Tammany Health System website.
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.
Congestive heart failure is a life-changing diagnosis, but a new program from the STHS Home Care team is helping ease the burden for people like Mary Bahn. Hear her tell her story.

The Transitions of Care COPD program at St. Tammany Health System is a home-care-based program providing specialized, post-discharge care to help patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) manage their conditions.
