The American College of Cardiology awarded Transcatheter Valve Certification on St. Tammany Health System for its expertise and commitment in treating patients receiving transcatheter valve repair and replacement procedures, based on STHS multidisciplinary teams, formalized training, decision-making, and registry performance.
St. Tammany is one of only two such certified programs in the New Orleans metro area and one of only five in the state of Louisiana.

“St. Tammany has demonstrated its commitment to providing its Northshore community with excellent heart care,” Deepak L. Bhatt MD MPH FACC, chair of ACC Accreditation Management Board, said. “We are proud to award St. Tammany Health System this Transcatheter Valve Certification.”
