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.

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 Netwo
- 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 initiati
- Healthcare Pipeline Industry Partnership Grant: St. Luke's Department of Community Health was awarded a Pocono Counties Workforce Development to grant to build, strengthen, and sustain local workforce development initiatives in Monroe County through local school district partnerships. Additionally, 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: - SkillUpTM 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) completing the program successfully. The program utilized SkillUpTM an online learning platform to assist participants to attain industry-recognized credentials for high-demand careers, including those in healthcare. Additionally, program participants were educated on employability skills and career ladders in the healthcare field. - Medical Assistant On-the-Job Training - This program component provided funds to support 23 Medical Assistance Trainees. Out of 23 enrolled in the grant, 87% (n=20) of the trainees obtained full-time employment across the St. Luke's Network. During this six-week training period, the trainees worked with patients while learning anatomy skills, medical terminology, collecting vital signs and EKGs, and administering immunizations and injections. They also learned how to participate in data collection, planning, and implementation of patient care plans, all while exhibiting professional behavior and high-level customer service skills. - School of Phlebotomy - This program component supported 15 participants enrolled in the St. Luke's School of Phlebotomy, with 100% (n=15) of participants completing the program successfully. The phlebotomy students participated in a twelve-week program that provided phlebotomy education through a combined delivery of didactic/theory in a classroom setting, as well as clinical experience in one of the St. Luke's outpatient lab service centers. Star Community Health Dental Van: The Star Community Health mobile dental van partnership provided services in the Monroe service area, including locations at The Mountain Center and the four school districts in Monroe County to support to 484 patients providing 252 cleanings, 819 sealants and 123 fillings. 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 FY 25, 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. 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 FY 25, 2,148 patients were provided Hospice care and 5,658 in Home Health across the Network. 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 FY 25 with the top searches including food, housing, and utilities.

Network-wide, there were 2,162 active users that logged 637,618 miles during FY 25. 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. 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.
