During our State of Healthcare Breakfast, Chamber members learned firsthand from St. Tammany area hospital executives about the current state of our local healthcare industry, including healthcare innovations, mental health, workforce development, what to expect following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and what to expect in healthcare in the upcoming three to five years.

We appreciate the expertise and time of our panelists— Lakeview Hospital COO Chad Cathey; Ochsner Health Northshore/Gulf Coast CEO Dr. Tim Riddell; Our Lady of the Lake Northshore President Paolo Zambito; Slidell Memorial Hospital COO Claire Chitwood; and St. Tammany Health System President and CEO Joan Coffman.

We also thank St. Tammany Corporation CEO Chris Masingill for moderating the panel and The Times-Picayune and The St. Tammany Farmer for sponsoring the breakfast held at LOPA – Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency.
