It takes a village, and we are so thankful for ours! ❤ Beside the tremendous work of the artists of our Healing Arts exhibition are the members of our Summer 2026 Healing Arts exhibition committee.

It is their vision, expertise, passion, and relentless hard work that makes our shows world-class, locally awarded and nationally recognized. Thank you to Sarada Bonnett, Becky Parks, Norma Richard, Emily Revere, and Brandon Talley and Sharon Toups (not pictured).

We are also extremely grateful to those who helped install this summer's exhibit including Dr. Arlette Delcham, Jean-Marie Desrosiers, Tim Revere, and Art Hines. We truly appreciate all the work you do in support of the Healing Arts. 🎨

We'd like to send a huge thank you to Kaia Simmons and Atmos Energy who spent time with the campers at their closing ceremony discussing paving the path for their futures!

Welcome back to 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲, a series where we share recent programs and services funded through St. Tammany Health Foundation, thanks to YOU, our donors! 💚

At the beginning of 2026, our Foundation funded St. Tammany Health System's membership for the national Walk With A Doc program. 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝑫𝒐𝒄 is a non-profit organization that inspires communities through movement and conversation, with the goal of making health and wellness accessible to all.

The program offers a simple, sustainable approach to addressing social determinants of health by encouraging healthcare providers to swap their white coats for t-shirts and sneakers and connect with patients in a more personal, meaningful way.

St. Tammany Health System's program launched in January 2026. Learn more about the program and how you can RSVP here: https://walkwithadoc.org/join-a-walk/locations/mandeville-louisiana/.

𝓒𝓸𝓵𝓸𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓕𝓲𝓮𝓵𝓭𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓕𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓕𝓵𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓻𝓼 Artist Spotlight...

🎨 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧 was born and raised in Louisiana and attended Louisiana Tech University where he studied Photography and took his first painting and design classes. He has been working as a professional artist now for over 22 years.

Wess is an acrylic painter whose subject matter varies greatly. His painting style was rooted in realism but has stretched and expanded so far you'd swear that it's all abstract. His paintings display a love for bold black lines, interesting textures, and bright primary colors. He is inspired by the infinite configuration of paint on canvas. We are thrilled to have his pieces on display, and you may contact him about his work at www.WessForeman.com, (985) 750-3529 or [email protected].

🎨 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐫 grew up in Chicago and moved to Louisiana with her husband and became a high school science teacher. It was there that she honed her drawing skills. After raising three children, she became interested in ballroom dancing, learning to play the piano and cello, and taking art lessons.

For Donna, painting is like a good book that can bring you to and through things you may only imagine. She is often compelled to paint a subject because of the shapes, colors, composition, or theme which inspires her to bring her brush to canvas. We are honored to have a few of her pieces on display, and you may contact her about any of her work at (985) 246-9610 or [email protected].
