Pillars4Life Program
The Cancer Program of Mary Bird Perkins and St. Tammany Parish Hospital is always striving to enhance our services to meet patients’ needs more effectively — not only with the best medical care, but also the support and resources that give people the courage to keep fighting.
The Cancer Program has applied for funding from LIVESTRONG to implement the innovative Pillars4Life program to support those fighting cancer. The organizations receiving the most votes within their regions will be awarded funds, materials and training.
