ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

What ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL does

St. Luke's University Health Network, operating as St. Luke's University Hospital, is a non-profit, integrated regional health system headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It operates 15 hospital campuses and 972 practices spanning the Greater Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania and Warren County in western New Jersey. The network delivers the full continuum of care, including primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, cancer care, heart and vascular, neurosciences, orthopedics, emergency services, behavioral health, imaging, laboratory, rehabilitation, home health and hospice, dialysis, retail pharmacy, and durable medical equipment, alongside fitness and sports performance centers and walk-in urgent care.

The network's underlying technology stack is anchored by a multi-decade clinical relationship with GE Healthcare, making St. Luke's an international show site for advanced imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology) across American College of Radiology-accredited facilities. Specialty clinical differentiators include Mohs micrographic surgery and diabetes and endocrinology programs. Academic medicine is delivered through Temple/St. Luke's School of Medicine, a School of Nursing, residencies, fellowships, and a Simulation Center, supported by a research and innovation function. Patient-facing digital infrastructure consists of the MyChart portal and Video Visits telehealth.

The business model is direct patient-care revenue billed through insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay arrangements, with prices disclosed via a Price Checker tool. Distribution runs through a layered channel architecture: enterprise-scale acute care at the 15 hospital campuses, mid-market access through 972 outpatient and specialty practices, and self-serve consumer access through CareNow walk-in centers and Video Visits. Strategic operating partnerships include a joint venture with Geisinger for Geisinger St. Luke's Hospital in Orwigsburg, a dialysis partnership with DaVita, and a durable medical equipment partnership with Young's Medical Equipment, enabling capital-light expansion into adjacent specialties and geographies.
