St. Tammany Health System has acquired the Braswell’s community pharmacy in Covington.
STHS has successfully operated an employee pharmacy for years. The addition of a retail pharmacy across the street from its flagship hospital expands the health system’s current retail pharmacy services.
“We are proud to maintain this trusted community pharmacy as just that: a trusted community pharmacy,” said Joan Coffman, president and CEO of St. Tammany Health System. “As the leading provider of healthcare in our community, we look forward to providing another avenue of healthcare services to our friends and neighbors as we continue to deliver on our promise of providing world-class health care close to home for local families.”
The proximity of Braswell’s to the health system’s flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital coupled with local support for Braswell’s made the purchase a natural fit for STHS, Coffman added.
St. Tammany Health System will continue to operate its employee and inpatient pharmacy within St. Tammany Parish Hospital.
