A heartfelt thank you to St. Timothy on the Northshore for their generous $500 donation to support St. Tammany Cancer Center - A Campus of Ochsner Medical Center's Therapeutic Food Pantry. ❤

Recently, students of their children's ministry presented the donation to Sarah Brignac, registered dietitian at St. Tammany Cancer Center.

This thoughtful gift will help provide nutritious food and support for cancer patients facing food insecurity during treatment. We are so grateful for community partners like St. Timothy whose generosity helps nourish hope and healing for our patients. 💜

💜 At St. Tammany Health Foundation, we are proud to support compassionate caregivers like Renee Christman, whose dedication makes a difference in the lives of cancer patients every day.

Her commitment to caring for others extends far beyond the walls of the cancer center and reflects the spirit of service that makes our community so special.

Programs like Renee's are made possible through the generosity of our donors and supporters. Your gifts help provide innovative services, compassionate care, and additional resources that enhance the cancer journey for patients and families across our region.
