Community Outreach ================== During Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25), 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 prom
- St. Luke's Quakertown and Upper Bucks Campuses ============================================== Education and Literacy Partnerships: Community Health and Quakertown Community School District (QCSD) have a longstanding collaboration that connects 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 to care and services to families in need. St. Luke's participates in school-based events, such as back to school and family nights, education sessions, literacy initiatives, and club and sport activities (athletic trainers). Literacy materials and events (e.g., Read Across America) were provided at Quakertown Elementary and resources were distributed at Neidig Elementary and in other schools in Palisades School District. 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. Raub Middle School students and SLUHN campus presidents were some of the volunteers that read to elementary school students in the Allentown School District. Additionally, both the Quakertown and Upper Bucks Campuses have a Little Free Library to provide community members free access to books and reading materials. Star Community Health: Star Community Health is a Read Across America at Quakertown Elementary School Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike (FQHC-LA) affiliated with St. Luke's that provides care and wraparound services to uninsured and underinsured individuals and families at little or no out-of-pocket cost. The Star Community Health dental van provided services for Quakertown School District one day per month at either Quakertown or Neidig Elementary Schools during FY25, with 58 patients receiving care, including 31 cleanings, three sealants, and eight restorations. Visiting Nurse Association: As a member of the St. Luke's University Health Network, the Visiting Nurse Association of St. Luke's Health/Hospice, Inc. ("the VNA") offers Home Health, Hospice and community-based mother/baby services that include the Visiting Nurse Advocate in the Home (VNAC) and Nurse Family Partnership (NFP). Established in 1919, the agency maintains Medicare-certification, Pennsylvania Department of Health licensure, Accreditation Commission for Healthcare (ACHC) accreditation and provides care in Lehigh, Berks, Northampton, Carbon, Schuylkill, Monroe, Upper Bucks, and Montgomery Counties. During FY25, 2,148 patients were provided Hospice care and 5,658 in Home Health across the Network. Breast Cancer Prevention: Adagio Health, through state and federal funding, administers the Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (BCCEDP) across much of Pennsylvania. This initiative provides free screenings and diagnostic services to uninsured and underinsured women, helping catch cancer early when it's most treatable. St. Luke's University Health Network is a key partner and early detection site in this effort. With women's imaging locations and advanced technologies like 3D mammography and breast MRI, St. Luke's enhances early detection rates and reduces unnecessary follow-ups. During FY25, there were 1,188 patient outreach encounters resulting in 21.4% of those outreach encounters ordering a mammogram, 39.9% establishing with a primary care physician post-outreach, 63.6% of ordered images completed, and 91.2% of pathology orders completed. This partnership is a powerful example of how public funding and local health systems can work together to create lasting health equity. Vision Vouchers: Vision plays a critical role in children's physical, cognitive, and social development. In the classroom, vision is essential in ensuring that students receive accurate, important information from reading, writing, and other academic tasks. Regular eye screenings can often be cost-prohibitive for families in need, and St. Luke's organized a partnership for vision services between Pearle Vision on West End Boulevard and the Trumbauersville Lions Club, for a free eye exam (and glasses if needed) for students in QCSD. Workforce Development and Career Mentoring: St. Luke's supports workforce development initiatives to promote education, experiential learning, and skills-based training to prepare individuals for the workforce and help them gain employment that provides them with a livable wage. Medical Career Pathways Program (MCP) is a robust program with lectures and shadowing experiences within the network. MCP entered its tenth year, providing adolescent mentoring for high school students interested in a career in healthcare. During FY25 there were 19 students participating from Quakertown, Palisades, and Upper Perkiomen School Districts. Additional shadow and volunteer experiences were provided for the local school district students, including three career demonstrations that reached 68 students and a field study that included 21 local student participants. St. Luke's Department of Community Health was awarded the Healthcare Pipeline Industry Partnership Grant from Workforce Board Lehigh Valley. The overall purpose of the grant was to establish a Lehigh Valley Healthcare Pipeline Industry Partnership through the development of a Workforce Pipeline Strategic Action plan and to increase the pipeline of healthcare workers trained and employed in the Lehigh Valley's Healthcare Industry Sector. For this grant, SLUHN developed a three-pronged approach to education and training for program participants including: - SkillUp PA and Employability Skills Training - In partnership with CareerLink Lehigh Valley, the program enrolled 19 high school students from the Allentown School District, with 73% (n=14) an online learning platform
- Transportation: St. Luke's transportation services, in collaboration with Lyft and Uber rideshare, ensures access to care by supporting rides to and from appointments. Transportation initiatives supported by SLUHN align with the primary goal of improving access to primary care for homeless and near homeless populations. By providing complimentary Lyft and Uber rides to and from appointments with primary care doctors and other specialists, this initiative allows patients to receive routine care in a timely manner, with the added goal of reducing the frequency and overuse of Emergency Department resources. More than $900,000 in Lyft and Uber rides were provided for services Network-wide. Findhelp: St. Luke's partners with findhelp, a free self-navigating online platform (sluhn.findhelp.com). findhelp is a social care network established to provide a comprehensive platform for people to find social services in their communities at any time in a language they understand, and for nonprofit and other community-based organizations to coordinate their service delivery and support services. St. Luke's Information Technology, Quality, Case Management, and Community Health teams work collaboratively, especially with Star Community Health, with more than 1,750 established (i.e., claimed) community-based partners in the communities we serve, which is also integrated with SLUHN electronic health record (i.e., Epic). findhelp allows community members to search for and connect to Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) support such as financial assistance, food pantries, medical care, transportation, and more. This platform, as well as United Way's 211, are tools that Community Health Liaisons use to assist our community members, patients, and staff to connect to vital resources. Community Health continues to onboard priority partners to ensure accurate and up-to-date resources are available to our communities. Network-wide there were 51,280 searches during FY25 with the top searches including food, housing, and utilities. In the Quakertown and Upper Bucks service area (Bucks County), there were a total of 2,447 searches, with the top services including food, housing, and transportation. Food Access: St. Luke's participated in United Way Bucks County's annual, community-powered initiative, "Bucks Knocks Out Hunger" by packaging 10,656 meals to be distributed in the community. Additionally, the Quakertown and Upper Bucks Holiday Committee provided goods to families and 572 pounds of food to Heaven's Bounty Food Pantry. Summer Meals Program: In partnership with Free Fall Action Sports and Quakertown Community School District, 4,611 meals for children and 1,240 meals for adults were served in Quakertown during the summer with weekly distribution of weekend bags. The Open Link's Summer Meals Program for Upper Perkiomen School District was supported with three CSA shares as well as an additional $1,000 raised by the Nursing Excellence Committee. The program received funding from Penn Community Bank and additional support from private donors. Physical Activity: Get Your Tail on the Trail is a free program created in 2013 by SLUHN and the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. The program aims to help people of all ages and abilities to meet their personal fitness goals. Since program inception, there have been a total of 6,295,048 miles recorded. Network-wide, there were 2,162 active users that logged 637,618 miles during FY25. Sports Medicine and Athletic Trainers: With a wide range of skill sets and abilities, athletic trainers manage an athlete from initial injury to return to life and play. Athletic trainers play a critical role in healthcare as they are often the most available and onsite medical provider in the athletics venue, therefore providing immediate care and facilitation of medical action that results in effective and efficient care to support patient recovery goals. SLUHN athletic trainers support more than 100,000 youth and collegiate athletes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Older Adult Meals: The Upper Bucks Campus Older Adult Meals Program is designed to provide subsidized meals to adults 65 and older at the Upper Bucks Campus cafeteria, which served 7,739 meals during FY25. This initiative addresses food security and loneliness among older adults. Employee Wellness: St. Luke's University Health Network recognizes that the health of its workforce is important and vital to the success of our organization. To support our employees and their spouses, the St. Luke's Employee Wellness Team provides evidence-based programming and health education to empower individuals to positively impact their health and reduce their risk of chronic health conditions through making healthy lifestyle choices. In alignment with the Network CHNA top priorities (i.e., Access to Care, Chronic Disease Prevention, Mental and Behavioral Health), Employee Wellness provides opportunities for employees and their spouses to focus on their physical, mental and social well-being, to help foster a high quality of life while managing the demands of their roles at work and home. During FY25, the following programs and resources were provided to support employee wellness: Caring Starts with You Core (annual biometric and health risk assessment program), Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program, health coaching, Plant Based Eating Class, Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), tobacco cessation, Employee Fitness Incentive Program, massage therapy, Silver Cloud, Employee Assistance Program, and Therapy Anywhere. The CSA program provided the opportunity to improve access to fresh, local produce. Across the Network, a total of $225,044 was invested in our local farms during the 2024 CSA season, including Bleiler Farm at the Upper Bucks Campus. Additionally, through this initiative, 146 shares were donated in the Quakertown and Upper Bucks service area to The Open Link. St. Luke's Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Response Warm Hand Of
