If you live in Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, or anywhere in St. Tammany Parish, you know that the Northshore offers a unique quality of life. But when a medical condition or severe injury prevents you from working, the stress of maintaining that life can be overwhelming. At Magnolia Disability, we provide the personalized, high-stakes advocacy that the families of the “985” deserve, standing up against national “disability mills” with local expertise.
Our Connection to the Northshore Community
The Northshore is a vital hub for healthcare, maritime commerce, and professional services. We have deep experience navigating the medical landscape of St. Tammany. Whether you are treating with specialists at St. Tammany Health System, Slidell Memorial Hospital, or Ochsner Medical Center – Northshore, we understand how to coordinate with your doctors to ensure the SSA sees the full medical picture of your claim.
We also understand the unique vocational background of Northshore residents. From the maritime workers along the lakefront to the professionals who commute across the Causeway, we know what it takes to prove that your disability prevents you from returning to the workforce.
Local Landmarks & Life in St. Tammany
We serve the people who call every corner of the Northshore home—from the historic streets of Old Mandeville and the Covington Business District to the growing neighborhoods of Slidell. Whether you enjoy a weekend at Fontainebleau State Park, a stroll along the Mandeville Lakefront, or the local shops at The Village at Northshore, we know that being unable to participate in your community is one of the hardest parts of being disabled. We fight to get you the benefits you’ve earned so you can focus on your health and your family.
Lance’s Local Recommendation
“If you’re in Covington for a meeting or an appointment, you have to stop by The Glory Bound Gyro Co. on Business 190. Their ‘Original’ gyro and those unique hummus flavors are a personal favorite of mine. It’s a great, local spot with a relaxed vibe that really captures the Northshore feel.” — Lance White
