| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | St. Luke's Hospital Monroe Campus, the first new acute-care, non-replacement hospital Monroe County has seen in 100 years, comprises four stories and 338,000 square feet. The $220 million hospital building - comprised of the initial $120 million first phase in 2016 and $90 million expansion in 2024 - has 134 inpatient rooms, including 12 beds for critical care patients. All are spacious and beautifully decorated to promote healing.

The operations of St. Luke's Monroe Campus, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the use and control of St. Luke's Monroe Campus is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission ======= The mission of St. Luke's Monroe Campus is to provide compassionate, excellent quality and cost-effective healthcare to residents of the communities served regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion or ability to pay. The mission of St. Luke's Monroe Campus is an unwavering commitment to excellence as we care for the sick and injured; educate physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers; and improve access to care in the communities we serve, regardless of a patient's ability to pay for their care. The mission will be accomplished by the following: - Making the patient our highest priority. - Promoting healthy lifestyles and continuously improving care provided to heal the sick and injured. - Coordinating and integrating services into a seamless, easily accessible system of care. - Improving the level of service provided throughout the network. - Ensuring all health care services are relevant to the needs of the community. - Striving to maximize the satisfaction of our patients, employees, medical staff and volunteers and, - Training allied health professionals, nursing and medical students and residents and fellows and attracting them to practice within our network's service area. St. Luke's Monroe Campus focuses on providing high-quality patient care. Overview ======== On October 3, 2016, St. Luke's Monroe Campus opened its doors to the community, becoming the seventh hospital in the St. Luke's Health Network. The hospital provides acute inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical care. The campus has an annual capacity for 10,000 inpatient and observation admissions and has a 33-bed emergency department with an annual capacity for 62,000 visits. In FY 25, St. Luke's Monroe Campus provided care for 10,079 admissions and observations, 53,811 emergency department visits and 260,660 outpatient visits. On April 24, 2024, St. Luke's Monroe Campus held a ribbon-cutting to formally open its new four-story, 165,000-square-foot hospital campus expansion, which doubled the size of the existing hospital and enhanced local access to specialized care through the addition of advanced services. The new expansion, connected to the east side of the existing hospital, houses a 36-bed medical-surgical unit (increasing the total number of inpatient beds to 134), additional operating and procedural space, expanded outpatient services, a state-of-the-art interventional radiology suite, Homestar pharmacy and a cardiac rehabilitation suite. Shelled space will be reserved for future services to continue to meet the needs of the community. In keeping with St. Luke's tradition, the addition has been built with American-made steel. In FY 23, St. Luke's Monroe Campus continued to bring outpatient services closer to the homes of its patients by opening two new health centers. The 17,500-square-foot St. Luke's Health Center at Pocono Summit provides comprehensive health care for families, including walk-in urgent care and lab services, primary care, orthopedics, physical therapy and pediatrics. In April 2023, the 40,000-square-foot St. Luke's Smithfield Gateway Health Center in East Stroudsburg opened. Services offered include St. Luke's Medical Associates of Monroe County, which was renamed St. Luke's Smithfield Primary Care, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, dermatology, pulmonology, laboratory services, diabetes and endocrinology, imaging and urgent care (Care Now). Previously, the St. Luke's family practice - Tobyhanna at the Mountain Center opened in April 2022. This clinic is a residency practice operated under St. Luke's physician group. It provides primary care services and selected women's health services. This residency practice accepts all insurances including commercial insurances, Medicare and Medicaid patients and uninsured patients. In March of 2018, St. Luke's University Health Network opened its second diagnostic breast imaging facility, specifically designed to serve Monroe County and surrounding area patients in need of routine and advanced diagnostic mammograms and testing. This state-of-the-art facility offers advanced technologies such as low dose 3D mammography and automated breast ultrasound (ABUS). Patients benefit from having highly skilled radiologists read their test results immediately. Patients with an abnormal finding can have a biopsy right away, helping to reduce the fear and anxiety of waiting. The St. Luke's Monroe Regional Breast Center includes the most advanced, computer-aided software to help in diagnosing breast anomalies and the latest digital and 3D mammography equipment from GE Healthcare. The center is equipped with Sensory suite to provide a calmer, interactive mammogram experience and the region's first Pristina Dueta mammography, a patient-assisted compression device which gives patients a sense of control during their mammograms. Another major investment in the St. Luke's Monroe Campus was a three-floor, 37,500-square-foot cancer center and medical office building located at 200 St. Luke's Lane adjacent to the hospital. The $22 million building opened in November 2017 and expanded the breadth of offerings at St. Luke's Monroe Campus to include medical, surgical and gynecologic oncology, radiation therapy, infusion (chemotherapy), imaging, orthopedics and a sleep lab. The Cancer Center is equipped with a Varian Truebeam linear accelerator that features advanced radiation-sparing technologies like OSMS - which stops treatment if a patient moves - as well as a "6 degrees of freedom perfect pitch couch," which allows therapists to position a patient in the exact perfect spot for optimal treatment and comfort. St. Luke's Monroe Campus specialty services include: - Cardiac Catheterization - Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation - Cardiology - Colon & Rectal Surgery - Dermatology - Emergency Services - Endocrinology - Endoscopies - Ears, Nose and Throat (Ent) - Gastroenterology - General Surgery - Gynecology - Infectious Disease - Infusion Services - Maternal Fetal Medicine - Nephrology |

Campus-Specific Quality Recognition =================================== Lown Institute Recognizes St. Luke's Monroe Campus for Outstanding Social Responsibility: In June 2025, the Lown Institute gave St. Luke's University Monroe Campus an "A" grade across all the top four categories, Social Responsibility, Equity, Value of Care and Patient Outcomes. Meanwhile, St. Luke's University Health Network was 5th in the nation out of 322 health systems for social responsibility, according to Lown, an independent health care think tank based in Massachusetts. Out of more than 2,700 hospitals measured by Lown, only 5% achieved honor roll status. In the sixth annual rankings, the 2025-26 Lown Index evaluated hospitals on over 50 measures including community benefit, racial inclusivity and avoidance of overuse. Data sources include Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage claims, CMS patient safety data and hospital cost reports, and IRS 990 forms, among others. U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) High Quality Scores: St. Luke's Monroe Campus received a five-star rating out of a possible 5 in August 2024 and a four-star rating in August 2025 in the annual quality and safety hospital review conducted by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) for superior quality and outcomes on multiple national lists based on objective data sources. The CMS ratings are based on an examination of the quality of care at more than 4,000 Medicare-certified hospitals across the country. The quality measures include safety and value of care, readmission, infection, complication rates, mortality, patient experience, effectiveness and timeliness of care and efficient use of medical imaging. Leapfrog Awards St. Luke's Monroe Campus 'A' Grade for Patient Safety: In May 2025 and again in November 2025, the Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit health care ratings organization awarded an 'A' grade to St. Luke's Monroe Campus. The Safety Grade assigns letter grades of A, B, C, D and F twice annually - in the spring and fall - to hospitals nationwide based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only rating solely focused on a hospital's ability to protect patients from preventable errors, accidents, injuries and infections. Developed under the guidance of a panel of national experts, it uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to nearly 3,000 U.S. hospitals. St. Luke's Monroe Campus has received straight 'A's since 2019, 14 times in a row. Leapfrog Group Names St. Luke's Monroe Campus a Top Rural Hospital: In December 2024 and 2025, the Leapfrog Group granted St. Luke's Monroe Campus its Top Rural Hospital Award. Top Hospitals have better systems in place to prevent medication errors, higher quality maternity care and lower infection rates, among other laudable qualities. Nationally, a total of 156 out of more than 2,100 hospitals considered were selected as Top Hospitals this year. Leapfrog's Top Hospital award recognizes the highest-performing hospitals in the United States in the teaching, general, rural and children's categories. It is based on objective data across many areas of hospital care, including infection rates and the hospital's capacity to prevent medication errors. HAP Recognizes Monroe Campus for "Good Food, Healthy Hospital": In October, the Monroe Campus earned "Platinum" level performance in The Hospital and HealthSystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) 2025 Good Food, Healthy Hospitals Program. Platinum level recognition is the highest level of distinction and represents achievement in implementing all five of the Good Food, Healthy Hospitals standards, which include: Food and beverage services in patient meals, cafeteria service, catering, vending and food purchasing plans. HAP honors St. Luke's Monroe Campus for delivering safe patient care: In October 2025, the Hospital and Healthcare Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) has honored St. Luke's Monroe Campus through its Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program. St. Luke's Monroe Campus was also one of only 22 Pennsylvania hospitals to receive this honor, which recognizes the commonwealth's top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of healthcare-associated infections. HAP identifies top-performing hospitals using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network. To be recognized, hospitals must perform better than the mean standardized infection ratio in three key measures: central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and occurrences of Clostridioides difficile. COMMUNITY OUTREACH =================== During Fiscal Year 2025 (FY 25), St. Luke's University Health Network (SLUHN) continued efforts supporting the top priorities established through the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). These priorities, outlined in the 2022-2025 Implementation Strategy, are listed below and advancements and initiative updates from FY 25 are detailed in this report. Our efforts to implement sustainable initiatives that focus on a wide range of health and quality of life outcomes are a result of data-driven strategies to promote overall health and wellbeing. While there are many issues facing our communities, the results from the 2022 CHNA found the top priorities for the St. Luke's Network to include: TOP PRIORITIES (Fiscal Year 2025): - Connection to Care - Workforce Development - Transportation and Housing - Food Security - Nutrition Education and Promotion - Physical Activity Promotion - Access to Mental Health Services - Access to Opioid and other Substance Use Disorder Services - Access to Prevention, Treatment and Recovery - COVID-19 Removed as a priority (Fiscal Year 2023) The needs outlined in our implementation strategy serve as a guide to support strategic initiatives through the pillars of Prevention and Wellness, Care Transformation and Research and Partnerships. Through collaborations with community and Network partners, we aim to promote a more equitable society with better health outcomes for all, with an emphasis on supporting the diverse needs of our most vulnerable populations. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | The priority areas outlined in this document served as our guide in creating this Network Implementation Plan to best address the needs of populations within the SLUHN service areas. Results from the 2022 CHNA found access to care as the main barrier facing our community, particularly within the four main priority areas. The updates to the 2022-2025 implementation strategy include removing the priority area of COVID-19. Given the end of the public health emergency and continued decline of the pandemic, COVID-19 was removed from the implementation strategy as a top priority for the Fiscal Year 2023 update as well as for Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025. Continued monitoring of COVID-19 ensures that the Network is prepared to pivot and re-prioritize as necessary. The 2025 CHNA for St. Luke's University Health Network was prepared and approved by the campus and Network Board of Directors and published online in June 2025. Access to Care --------------- - Connection to Care - Workforce Development - Transportation and Housing Chronic Disease Prevention --------------------------- - Food Security - Nutrition Education and Promotion - Physical Activity Promotion Mental and Behavioral Health ----------------------------- - Access to Mental and Behavioral Health Services - Access to Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery St. Luke's University Health Network (SLUHN) conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Through our analysis of primary and secondary data, as well as the CHNA key informant interviews, forums, and surveys with community members, we see significant issues facing our communities that impede healthy lifestyles. Our efforts in prevention, care transformation, research, and partnerships help support our work to implement sustainable initiatives that focus on a wide range of health and quality of life outcomes. SLUHN supports a Department of Community Health that utilizes CHNA results to inform its strategic plan and catalyze initiatives that address priority needs for underserved communities. The Department's mission is to create pathways for equity toward measurable health outcomes through advocacy, access and navigation of resources for partners and underserved communities. The Department's vision is for everyone in our community to have access to exceptional healthcare built on a foundation of trust and compassion. Through collaborations with community and Network partners, the Department of Community Health aims to promote a more equitable society with better health outcomes, especially within the Network's most vulnerable populations. Community Health Liaisons and Community Health Workers (CHW) help to promote access to care, services, and resources through trust and relationship-building. Pathways have been established and strengthened to connect families to primary care, social services, food access, financial literacy, career mentoring, workforce development, and more. SLUHN is nationally recognized for its unwavering commitment to excellence in healthcare quality, safety, and performance. In 2024, SLUHN was recognized by the Lown Institute, an independent think tank advocating bold ideas for a just and caring system for health, as the third most socially responsible health network in the United States and the first in Pennsylvania. The Lown Institute seeks to shine a light on those hospitals that provide exceptional, high-value patient care to all who need it in their community -- and encourage all hospitals to follow their example. In FY 24 St. Luke's reported $462 million of IRS defined community benefit spending, approximately 16% of the Network's operating expenditures. The Network consistently ranks in the top decile for national quality measures and has earned over 200 prestigious awards for healthcare excellence. Notable achievements include: - Leapfrog Safety Grade: All acute care hospitals received straight A's for patient safety. - CMS Star Ratings: Awarded five stars for quality by Medicare & Medicaid. - Premier 100 Top Hospitals: Recognized for 11 consecutive years. - 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals: Honored eight times for outstanding cardiac care. In 2025, St. Luke's was once again named a Top Workplace in the large employer category by The Morning Call, marking its third consecutive year receiving this distinction. ST. LUKE'S MONROE CAMPUS ------------------------- Pocono Mountain School District (PMSD): The partnership with PMSD provides a pathway to connect students and their families to a medical home (i.e., primary care physician), vision, dental, behavioral health, and other social services. These efforts have improved access and services to families in need. Additionally, the PMSD partnership with St. Luke's Sports Medicine has measurably improved food access and access to social services and resources to families in need through the PMSD school-based food pantries, including 605 students (duplicated) and 6,400 items distributed. Additionally, the Monroe Campus supports the district throughout the year by organizing drives for food, hygiene, and other needed supplies. Literacy: Literacy promotion through Read Across America was implemented at local schools in communities across the Network. A total of 126 volunteers, including seven of the SLUHN campus presidents, read to more than 6,300 students during Read Across America week in 2025 and more than 7,500 literacy resources Network-wide were shared with students in the community. Over 20 St. Luke's staff volunteered to read at the four school districts in Monroe County which include Pocono Mountain, East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, and Pleasant Valley School Districts. Workforce Development: In partnership with the Pocono Counties Workforce Board, the Department of Community Health assisted St. Luke's Volunteer Services with the implementation of the Hands-on Immersive Healthcare program at St. Luke's Monroe Campus. This initiative provided 78 high school students from Stroudsburg High School, East Stroudsburg North High School, East Stroudsburg South High School, Pocono Mountain East High School, Pocono Mountain West High School, and Pleasant Valley High School the opportunity to engage in practical learning experiences through simulated clinical tasks that represent various roles in the healthcare industry. Over the course of the program, students rotated through different scenarios where they observed and participated in simulations using patient actors or mannequins. The program consisted of three separate sessions, featuring stations that highlight in-demand occupations within healthcare, while also teaching students vital employability skills and essential patient care techniques. Co-Op Program: In addition, the grant funds from the Pocono Counties Workforce Board assisted St. Luke's Volunteer Services with the implementation of the Co-Op Program, in partnership with the Monroe's Career & Technical Institute. The Co-Op Program provides paid work experiences for high school juniors and seniors at St. Luke's Monroe Campus, where they learn employability skills and the roles and responsibilities of a Patient Care Assistant, Laboratory Aide, or Medical Assistant. The goals of the program are to expose high school students to high priority occupations in the healthcare field, develop a pipeline for healthcare workers, and support Monroe's Career & Technical Institute students with real life work experiences during the academic day.
