| CORE FORM, PAGE 1, BOX C | PLEASE NOTE, IN ADDITION TO THE D/B/A INCLUDED ON PAGE 1 OF THIS FORM 990, THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FILED THE FOLLOWING FICTITIOUS NAME WITH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND OPERATES UNDER THE FOLLOWING: ST. LUKE'S CARE NOW. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | St. Luke's University Health Network (St. Luke's), founded in 1872, is a fully integrated, regional, not-for-profit network of more than 2,250 volunteers, 23,000 employees and 2,500 physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, representing more than 100 specialties, providing services and at 16 campuses and more than 350 outpatient sites. Annual admissions and observations exceeded 110,000. In addition, in FY 25, there were 358,994 emergency room visits, 1,701,201 outpatient registrations, 229,654 urgent care visits and 4,347,213 physician care visits. With annual net revenue exceeding $4.5 billion, the network's service area includes 11 counties: Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Luzerne, Montgomery, Monroe and Schuylkill Counties in Pennsylvania and Warren and Phillipsburg counties in New Jersey. St. Luke's, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, is committed to caring for the sick and injured regardless of their ability to pay, educating our health care professionals and improving the overall health of the communities it serves. MISSION ------- The mission of St. Luke's University Health Network is to care for the sick and injured regardless of their ability to pay, improve our communities' overall health, and educate our health care professionals. 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. OVERVIEW --------- St. Luke's provided total net community benefits of $516,637,181. Comprised of: Charity care and means tested programs (the difference between cost of care versus Medicaid reimbursement) of $205,616,412 plus other community health improvement services/cash and in-kind contributions, subsidized health services and health profession education of $311,020,769. St. Luke's strives endlessly to provide the highest quality care at the lowest cost and has been recognized by various rating organizations as a high value provider. The network operates on a conservative margin. Any excess revenue earned is continuously reinvested on behalf of the community to improving health care services. In FY 25, St. Luke's margin (the difference between the cost of providing care and revenue earned) was 2.5%. To put this into perspective that amounts to about 20 days of payroll. Caring for the sick and injured - improving quality and access in keeping with its mission, St. Luke's continuously works to improve both quality of care and access to care in all the communities it serves. In recent years, both St. Luke's as a network, and its individual hospitals and programs, have received numerous, significant recognitions for quality. St. Luke's has made great strides in maintaining and improving access to health care services, especially in underserved rural areas and urban areas with low-income populations. NETWORK-WIDE HIGHLIGHTS ----------------------- St. Luke's University Health Network is the only independent health care network headquartered in the Lehigh Valley, governed by local business leaders. It is the Lehigh Valley's largest employer, and the only health system in Pennsylvania recognized as a national Top Workplace in 2025 by USA Today. St. Luke's aims to achieve top-decile performance in clinical quality and safety measures, provide exceptional service and be perceived as EASY to use by everyone accessing our services. The Network's flagship University Hospital has earned the 100 Top Major Teaching Hospital designation from Premier 13 times, including in 2023 when it was identified as the #4 TEACHING HOSPITAL IN THE COUNTRY. St. Luke's is the only Lehigh Valley health care system to earn Medicare's five-star ratings (the highest) for quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction. It is both a Leapfrog Group and Healthgrades Top Hospital and a Newsweek World's Best Hospital. The fully integrated system includes many other health care services, such as home health and hospice. St. Luke's Physicians Group (SLPG) comprises more than 2,000 physicians and advanced practitioners. Additionally, St. Luke's Care Network includes independent practices with roughly 400 physicians and advanced practitioners. FY 2025 Highlights ------------------- In FY 2025, St. Luke's University Health Network continued to expand services and invest in the education of future health care providers. - St. Luke's finalized negotiations and work to add Grand View Hospital in Sellersville as its 16th campus, the culmination of a process that began in earnest in 2024. On July 1, 2025, Grand View Health joined St Luke's Grand View Health has joined St. Luke's University Health Network, having received all necessary federal and state regulatory approvals. Doug Hughes, who was named president and CEO of Grand View in 2022, will continue to serve as President of the St. Luke's Grand View Campus and report to St. Luke's Executive Vice President & COO Joel Fagerstrom. Headquartered in Sellersville, Grand View was established in 1913 as Bucks County's first hospital. It has grown into a nonprofit, community-based health system of 2,000 employees, caring for residents of Bucks and Montgomery counties. It has received an 'A' grade for safety from the Leapfrog Group and has earned five stars (the highest) for quality from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). - St. Luke's Upper Bucks Campus completed the construction of an $8 million, 11-square-foot addition, which doubled the size of its emergency room with the addition of 12 beds, bringing the total to 28 individual rooms. The ribbon-cutting was held on Oct. 1, 2025, and the expanded ER opened on Oct. 2, with the capacity to treat 22,000 patients per year. The new ER was built with $2.5 million in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) funds secured through financial assistance provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Honorable Josh Shapiro, Governor. - St. Luke's continued to work on the development of the St. Luke's College of Health Sciences to prepare for the acceptance of applications to begin in January 2026 for its inaugural class, which will commence in May 2026. The college will offer an associate degree in both radiography and respiratory care, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree for already licensed registered nurses (RN to BSN). The college will offer diverse hands-on training and classroom learning with meaningful collaboration to prepare students for a successful career. Meanwhile, St. Luke's continues to partner with regional colleges and universities while its new educational entity expands the network's ability to address workforce shortages in critical health care roles by broadening access to education. Inpatient Services ------------------ Other Recent Accomplishments: - In February 2024, St. Luke's Allentown opened its new Women & Babies Pavilion. The expanded facility will increase the community's access to high-quality birthing, post-partum and newborn services, including neonatal intensive care. The five-story, 85,000-square-foot tower, built on the east side of the hospital, helps meet the growing patient needs at this hospital campus. - In January 2024, St. Luke's Easton Campus opened the St. Luke's Easton Women's Imaging Center.

Neurologic physical therapists rehabilitate individuals with neurologic disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis. Pediatric physical therapists address developmental, neuromuscular and skeletal issues in infants, children and adolescents, fostering improved motor skills and functional independence. The one-year Neurologic Residency Program requires extensive mentoring in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. All core faculty members are board-certified specialists in neurology. Nationally, there are 73 accredited neurologic physical therapy residencies, including four in Pennsylvania and two in New Jersey. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | - In December 2023, the Network opened the St. Luke's Orthopedic Hospital - West End Campus, a hospital for orthopedic surgery, where expert teams perform same-day surgeries of the knee, hip, spine, hand and shoulder and treat a myriad of sports-related fractures and other injuries. The two-story, 52,000-square-foot facility's first floor houses eight operating rooms and 24 patient care rooms for pre- and post-surgery care, along with support and auxiliary spaces and comfortable family waiting rooms. The VELYS robot-assisted orthopedic surgery system and other advanced technologies are used to maximize safety, accuracy, and the quality of operative outcomes. - In November 2023, St. Luke's opened the new six-bed Isaacman Family Children's Emergency Room at St. Luke's Children's Hospital in Bethlehem. The kid-friendly space, designed with a welcoming "under the sea" theme, allows children to avoid the added stress of an adult emergency room environment and reduces their anxiety while being treated. In addition to our board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physicians and specialized pediatric ER nurses, St. Luke's Child Life Specialist uses therapeutic play and education to make ER visits less frightening. As needed, the Isaacman Family St. Luke's Children's ER provides streamlined admissions to St. Luke's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Pediatric Inpatient Unit. As appropriate, staff members refer patients to any of more than 40 pediatric specialists at St. Luke's University Health Network. - On March 1, 2023, St. Luke's Upper Bucks Campus opened a new three-story addition doubling the size of the hospital, which opened in December 2019. The $79 million project adds more than 117,275 square feet for a new Women & Babies Pavilion, expanded cancer services and room for future expansion. The first floor expands the infusion capacity from 10 to 16 chairs, adds a new suite of oncology specialty practices - medical, surgical, radiation, and gynecological - and includes a TrueBeam linear accelerator, giving patients access to highly advanced radiation therapy services at this campus. The second-floor addition houses five labor and delivery rooms, 12 post-partum rooms, four triage rooms, six NICU beds and two C-section suites. - In February 2023, just over three years after opening, Geisinger St. Luke's Hospital in Orwigsburg opened 20 additional private medical-surgical beds to accommodate the hospital's increased inpatient volumes. This brings the total bed count to 60, including 10 existing Intensive Care Unit beds. - St. Luke's Quakertown Campus increased the number of beds for inpatient psychiatric services from 13 to 32 to meet increasing demand. With this addition, St. Luke's University Network's total inpatient psychiatric bed capacity is 202. - In November 2022, St. Luke's Allentown Campus broke ground for a new Women and Babies Pavilion to meet the growing patient needs for these services at this hospital campus. The five-story, 85,000 square-foot tower is being built on the east side of the current hospital at 1736 Hamilton Boulevard. The expansion includes a Level 3 NICU with 10 NICU beds, nine Labor & Delivery rooms and 13 post-partum rooms. The project will cost approximately $50 million and is scheduled to open in February 2024. Emergency Services ------------------- - With nine trauma centers, St. Luke's operates the region's largest trauma network and hospital-based EMS unit as well as 26 Care Now walk-in urgent care locations. Outpatient Services -------------------- - St. Luke's University Health Network operates more than 350 outpatient sites, including the following recent additions: Behavioral Health ------------------ In FY 25, St. Luke's University Health Network continued to make significant investments in expanding the availability and access to high-quality behavioral health services, including the opening of an office in Tamaqua in June 2025 to serve the mental health needs of Schuylkill County. The new Tamaqua clinic offers counseling, medication management and other outpatient mental health services. It is staffed by seven clinicians, including a doctor, a therapist, an advanced practitioner and rural psychiatric residents. The 3,000-square-foot facility is the sixth St. Luke's Penn Foundation Psychiatric Associates office, with others located in Allentown, Bethlehem, Lehighton and Phillipsburg, NJ. St. Luke's Penn Foundation delivers 35 mental health and addiction recovery programs at more than 18 locations across the Network and through mobile services in the community. St. Luke's Penn Foundation is an Aetna Institute of Quality and an Independence Blue Cross Blue Distinction Center for Substance Use Treatment and Recovery. Adult inpatient mental health services are offered at three campuses: St. Luke's Sacred Heart, St. Luke's Lehighton, and St. Luke's Quakertown. Adolescent inpatient mental health services are offered at St. Luke's Easton Campus. Outpatient mental health services for children, adolescents and adults include individual, couples, family or group counseling, psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Mental health residential and rehabilitation programs provide personalized support in accessing services and resources, coordinating healthcare and working towards career, educational and other life goals. In June 2025, St. Luke's Penn Foundation opened an office in Tamaqua to serve the mental health needs of Schuylkill County. The new Tamaqua clinic offers counseling, medication management and other outpatient mental health services. It is staffed by seven clinicians, including a doctor, a therapist, an advanced practitioner and rural psychiatric residents. The 3,000-square-foot facility is the sixth St. Luke's Penn Foundation outpatient mental health office, with others located in Allentown, Bethlehem, Lehighton, Sellersville and Phillipsburg, NJ. St. Luke's Lehighton Campus opened the state's first mental health walk-in center in 2022. Open every day, patients 14 and older can seek help for non-life-threatening conditions such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, thoughts of self-harm, mood swings, anger, school and more. In 2025, approximately 500 individuals sought treatment at the Walk-in Center, and 80% of those individuals were diverted from Emergency Departments. St. Luke's Penn Foundation expanded its Victory for Veterans program to provide suicide prevention services to veterans in both Carbon and Schuylkill Counties. Made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the program served 63 veterans and their families this past year and more than 100 veterans and their families since its inception. Additionally, the program has outreached to more than 1,000 veterans through community events, places of worship, and local fairs and festivals. The team has also presented at locations such as the American Legion, VFWs and the Marine Corps League. The Victory for Veterans Program has initiated its own outreach events such as Ruck 'n Reflect, Roll or Stroll, the monthly Common Grounds Veterans Coffee Club and the monthly support groups. Inpatient drug and alcohol services are offered at two locations and include three levels of care: Medical Withdrawal Management Unit: 16-bed unit located at the St. Luke's Sacred Heart campus in Allentown and managed by triple board-certified physicians (Medical Toxicology, Addiction Medicine, Emergency Medicine) who manage withdrawal from substance use disorder and underlying medical conditions Detoxification and Inpatient Rehabilitation: 55-bed unit located at the St. Luke's Penn Foundation campus in Sellersville, providing individuals with a safe, structured environment to begin their recovery.

A variety of therapeutic activities are used to develop sober life skills and decrease barriers to long-term recovery. Outpatient drug and alcohol services include counseling, intensive outpatient program, Mobile Engagement Services, BCARES/Warm Handoff programs, medication-assisted treatment and family consultation. Prevention programs and education, such as Camp Crossroads, Family Education, and school-based presentations, are also provided. Dedicated to Advancing Medical Education ----------------------------------------- Temple/St. Luke Medical School is a four-year regional medical campus that collaborates with and is affiliated with Temple's Lewis Katz School of Medicine in Philadelphia. It is the preeminent teaching hospital in central-eastern Pennsylvania. In 2006, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) and St. Luke's University Health Network (SLUHN) established a clinical campus for third- and fourth-year students at St. Luke's Hospital. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | In 2011, St. Luke's senior leadership decided to join LKSOM in creating a regional medical school campus: Temple/St. Luke's. The inaugural Temple/St. Luke's class started in August of 2011 and graduated in May of 2015. In August 2020, the partnership between LKSOM Temple University and SLUHN expanded such that incoming students can now complete all four years of medical school at St. Luke's Bethlehem. There are presently 167 medical students enrolled in the medical school with an approximate enrollment of 40 students per class. On May 9, 2025, 37 Temple/St. Luke's School of Medicine students graduated at a ceremony at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, of which 13 graduates will continue their education at St. Luke's for residency. St. Luke's helps each medical student-many of whom are becoming the first doctor in their family-pay for their education through a yearly $10,000 scholarship. A Match Debt Relief program, started in 2020, provides tuition reimbursement to select medical students who choose to work at St. Luke's after graduation and pursue a career in family medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry, and pediatrics. The debt relief offered to each recipient depend upon the program and the years the student-turned-resident commits to continuing their career at the Network. In addition, St. Luke's continuously expands its post-graduate medical training programs. We currently have more than 530 residents and fellows enrolled in 60 accredited programs. The Network will have more than 60 fellowships and residencies by the end of the 2025 calendar year, with the addition of the Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship program. Other new programs added recently include Family Medicine Residency Grand View, the first residency program at the Grand View Campus, a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Residency, and a Foot and Ankle Physical Therapy Fellowship. At least a third of these residents and fellows will continue to work at St. Luke's following the completion of their programs - improving both the quality of and access to care in the region, well into the future. The majority of St. Luke's Graduate Medical Education Programs have been located at St. Luke's Bethlehem Campus and St. Luke's Anderson Campus, with continued growth expected at both sites. St. Luke's Anderson Campus currently has 216 residents with accredited graduate medical education programs in addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry, clinical neurophysiology, dermatology, diagnostic radiology, endocrinology, emergency medicine, family medicine, hematology/oncology, internal medicine, interventional radiology, neurology, otolaryngology head & neck surgery, pain medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, sleep medicine, transitional year, and vascular neurology.

More than 200 applications are typically received for each incoming class of 100 students. There are currently 382 enrolled students. Typically, approximately 75% of nursing school students has been hired by Network entities upon graduation. Currently 65% of the students are employees while they are in school and benefitting from tuition reimbursement. Since August 2022, the Network has offered eligible St. Luke's employees tuition coverage upfront. This represents a $26,000 value. Students at St. Luke's School of Nursing are also provided with a laptop free of charge to use for coursework. Additionally, St. Luke's partners with Northampton Community College and Lehigh Carbon Community College to cover the up-front cost of prerequisite classes for our employees. Employees must still apply to the St. Luke's School of Nursing program, meet application requirements, and be accepted. Also, St. Luke' provides a residency program for new nurses.

Improving the Overall Health of the Community --------------------------------------------- Every St. Luke's campus is committed to improving the overall health and enhancing the quality of life for the residents of the communities it serves. The individual campus reports provide many examples of how St. Luke's accomplishes this. In addition to the ways discussed previously, the list below highlights key points. In FY 25, St. Luke's: - Operated medical clinics to serve lower-income patients and those with inadequate insurance coverage. - Provided mobile medical services to school children. Services included physicals, adolescent health assessments, vision services, insurance referrals and nutrition counseling. - Provided mobile dental services to school children. - Provided a wide range of health screenings at numerous community events. - Conducted classes on life-saving topics, including first aid and life support. - Improved literacy by maintaining free lending libraries at various campuses and participating in school literacy programs. - Encouraged physical activity using the D&L trails and other walking/running/biking paths, and provided and supported numerous walks and runs. - Encouraged healthy eating through the farm to school program that provides school children hands-on learning about nutrition and gardening, employee access to locally grown produce through the expansion of the community supported agriculture (CSA), as well as numerous educational programs that educated patients on how to improve their health through healthy eating. - Worked with numerous media outlets to educate the community about health issues. - Held national drug take back day events, where unused drugs were collected. - Held food and clothing drives to benefit community members in need. Supporting the Local Economy ----------------------------- Although St. Luke's is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, the presence of its hospitals and other facilities provides an indirect benefit to local school districts and municipalities. St. Luke's is the largest, or one of the largest, employers in many of the communities where its hospitals are located. In FY 25 alone, St. Luke's paid $x.xxx billion in wages and salaries to approximately 23,000 employees. St. Luke's and these employees paid Social Security and Medicare taxes, and employees paid local income tax on their earnings. Most of these employees live in or near the city, town, borough or township, county, and school district where they work, and thus support the local tax base through the payment of property taxes and local income taxes. In addition, St. Luke's stimulates the local economy through the purchase of supplies and equipment, purchased services, and goods and services purchased by its employees. Also, maintenance of these hospitals and other network facilities - and construction of new ones -generate work for contractors, architects, designers, metal workers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters and many more craftsmen. Furthermore, the circulation of hospital dollars has a ripple impact in local communities. In fact, the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) estimates that in FY 24 (latest available report), the effect of the hospital community on local economies in the Lehigh Valley region - comprising Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton and Schuylkill counties - was including the ripple effect, $12.7 billion, and hospital salary contributions was $3.8 billion. Hospitals supported 53,481 jobs. Hospitals were the top employers in Lehigh County. Furthermore, hospitals in Pennsylvania delivered $10.8 billion in community benefit in areas such as enhancing community health, providing charity care to patients in need, training and educating the next generation of health care professionals, conducting lifesaving medical research, and absorbing costs associated with caring for millions of Pennsylvanians covered by Medicare and Medicaid.

| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | 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. 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.
