Building Health Beyond the Clinic 👩⚕️👨⚕️
The St. Tammany Health System/Ochsner Family Medicine Residency Program is building the next generation of family physicians committed to community care — including Covington’s West 30s area.
From hands-on community engagement to volunteering with West 30s Redemption Co. to renovate a local home, residents are learning that health extends far beyond the clinic. As Louisiana’s only residency with a lifestyle medicine curriculum across all training years, the program emphasizes connection, service and understanding the real-world factors that shape health outcomes.
