St. Tammany Health System’s flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital recently christened its new Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED), a purpose-built space designed specifically for expectant mothers experiencing the unexpected in their pregnancy journey.
“We are so excited as we ‘cut the cord,’ if you will, on this new, custom-built space, which will help us continue to deliver exceptional care for our community’s moms-to-be in a much bigger space than previously,” said Joan Coffman, the health system’s president and CEO.

Thibodaux Regional Health System announced the addition of Elizabeth Ansert, MD, foot and ankle specialist, to the active medical staff. Ansert is available to care for patients at Thibodaux Regional Foot & Ankle Center, located at 290 Bowie Road in Thibodaux.
