Neurosciences and Spine Care
The Ochsner Neurosciences Institute at St. Tammany Health System brings advanced brain, back, and spine care to Northshore residents through the partnership between St. Tammany Health System and Ochsner Health. Combining leading-edge technologies, including robotic-assisted surgical systems, with a team of expert neurosurgeons, spine specialists, and pain management physicians, the program delivers world-class neuroscience care close to home in Covington.
Putting back and spine front and center
When St. Tammany Health System entered into a partnership with Ochsner Health in 2014, one of the chief goals was to provide Northshore residents with access to world-class healthcare closer to home than ever before and in as many specialties as possible.
Perhaps nowhere is the partnership living up to that promise more than at the Ochsner Neurosciences Institute at St. Tammany Health System, a comprehensive brain, back and spine program dedicated to improving the quality of life for local residents.
That includes the use of leading-edge technologies, from the Globus Excelsius GPS system, a revolutionary robotic navigation platform for use in spine surgery; to the innovative Synaptive Modus V / Bright Matter system, a robotic microscope.
It also, of course, includes a talented team of highly trained neurosurgeons, back and spine specialists, and pain management specialists – all right here, close to home on St. Tammany Health System’s Covington campus.
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure it out: When it comes to neurosciences on the Northshore, Ochsner and St. Tammany are leading the way – together.
