October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month. Join St. Tammany Health System in promoting #SafeSleep practices for babies. A safe sleep environment means a crib free of bumpers, pillows, blankets and toys. These items can pose suffocation risks to infants. Keep it firm, flat and covered only by a fitted sheet to reduce the risk of SIDS. Also, ensure infants sleep in the same room as caregivers, as this can help monitor their breathing and reduce the risk of SIDS. #SIDSawareness #infanthealth #parentingtips #ClearTheCrib

James L. Core, vice chairman of the St. Tammany Health System Board of Commissioners – a body on which he served with distinction for more than 41 years – died Saturday. He was 82. Joan Coffman, President and CEO of St. Tammany offered this heartfelt statement: “Over 41 years on the board and two decades as chair of Facilities speaks volumes about how Mr. Core approached his role of commissioner, in which he served with the same pride, dedication, love and unwavering support that he offered his own family. Mr. Core was a fixture at health system events and celebrations, and he was in particular awe of the dedication of its workforce, including its small army of volunteers and the medical staff. His guiding vision — with the community’s needs at the center — was instrumental in influencing our master facility plan for responsible growth. He was the greatest of ambassadors for St. Tammany Health System, living our core values to the end. May God rest in knowing he has just gained a true and humble servant leader into his kingdom of heaven – a true man of honor.”  https://lnkd.in/gykJPzJf Funeral arrangements are being handled by E.J.
