For the second consecutive year, St. Tammany Health System has been named one of New Orleans CityBusiness’ Best Places to Work in New Orleans.
As in 2022, the health system was recognized for 2023 in the largest of the three sized-based categories, reserved for companies with 250 employees or more.
St. Tammany Health System, founded in 1954 as St. Tammany Parish Hospital, employs more than 2,800 people, making it the second-largest employer in St. Tammany Parish.
“All awards are humbling, but I am particularly grateful for this one, given that it relies so heavily upon the opinions expressed by our own colleagues,” said St. Tammany Health System President and CEO Joan Coffman, FACHE. “They truly are our most valued – and most valuable – assets. This award makes it clear that they value the organization as much as it values them. That is incredibly gratifying.
The annual Best Workplaces program was created by New Orleans CityBusiness and Best Companies Group to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in the New Orleans metro area, benefiting the area's economy, workforce, and business climate.
This year, 82 companies were recognized across all three size categories. They will be recognized in the Dec. 15 issue of New Orleans CityBusiness.
