- Geisinger St. Luke's Campus is the first new acute-care, non-replacement hospital Schuylkill County has seen in 90 years. Comprised of three stories and 130,091 square feet, the $100-million hospital building has 64 private patient rooms, including 10 critical care beds, and the ability to add 16 more medical-surgical rooms in the future. To promote healing, the rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The hospital also features state-of-the-art operating and procedure rooms, a helipad, a large and efficient emergency room and modern medical technologies from GE Healthcare. Opening in November 2019, Geisinger St. Luke's Campus was the first joint venture in Pennsylvania history of two health systems coming together to co-own a facility. The hospital is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as an Internal Revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Geisinger St. Luke's Campus provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion or ability to pay. Moreover, Geisinger St. Luke's Campus operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in the IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) Geisinger St. Luke's Campus provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) Geisinger St. Luke's Campus operates an active emergency room for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) Geisinger St. Luke's Campus maintains an open medical staff, by invitation only, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of Geisinger St. Luke's Campus rests with its Board of Trustees.

The operations of Geisinger St. Luke's Campus, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the use and control of Geisinger St. Luke's 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 Geisinger St. Luke's Campus is to care for the sick and injured and improve our community's health regardless of a patient's ability to pay. Vision ====== The vision of Geisinger St. Luke's Campus is to be the preferred hospital in Schuylkill County for high-quality, cost-effective care and outstanding service. 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 ======== On November 20, 2019, Geisinger St. Luke's Campus opened its doors to the community. Becoming the 10th hospital in the St. Luke's University Health Network, the new hospital provides acute inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical care. The campus has an annual capacity for 3,450 inpatient and observation admissions and has a 15-bed emergency department with an annual capacity for 25,000 visits. In FY 25, Geisinger St. Luke's Campus provided care for 4,980 admissions and observations, 30,665 emergency department visits and 79,192 outpatient visits. From the day it opened, Geisinger St. Luke's Campus has been embraced by the public. In the first year of operations, the hospital received the Press Ganey guardian of excellence award for inpatient and emergency room care and the Republican Herald's readers' choice best hospital award. The Geisinger St. Luke's Campus continues to be successful due to the support of both the St. Luke's University Health Network and the Geisinger Health System. Another major investment in the Geisinger St. Luke's Campus was a three-floor, 37,500-square-foot medical office building located at 1165 Centre Turnpike, on the hospital campus. The $8 million building opened in June 2020 and expanded the breadth of offerings at Geisinger St. Luke's Campus to include cardiology, orthopedics, spine & pain, sports medicine, pulmonary, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, urology, nephrology, gynecologic oncology, women's imaging, 3D mammography and DEXA scan (bone density scanning). In FY 24, the Geisinger St. Luke's Campus added the wound care service line at the Medical Office Building. In FY 23, the Geisinger St. Luke's Campus added 20 private rooms at a cost of $11 million, Fast Breast MRI and opened the Interventional Radiology Suite on July 23, 2023. The Geisinger St. Luke's Campus Breast Center, located in the Medical Office Building, includes the most advanced, computer-aided software to help in diagnosing breast anomalies and the latest digital and 3d mammography equipment from GE Healthcare.

- Leapfrog Awards St. Luke's Geisinger St. Luke's 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 Geisinger St. Luke's 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. 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. 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 millio
- GEISINGER ST. LUKE'S ==================== Child Development Head Start: A Geisinger St. Luke's (GSL) Community Health Worker (CHW) and Community Health staff provide services to more than 600 students and families at Child Development Head Start as direct or indirect family advocates. The partnership between St. Luke's Department of Community Health and Child Development Head Start began in 2013 through the St. Luke's Miners Campus. When GSL opened in 2019, SLUHN was able to further prioritize the partnership by embedding a CHW at Child Development Head Start. The GSL CHW provides outreach to all Schuylkill School Districts with connection to health education and services, which support improved access and services to families in need. Locations include Blue Mountain, Mahanoy Area, Marian, Minersville, Nativity, North Schuylkill, Pine Grove, Pottsville, Saint Clair, Schuylkill Haven, Shenandoah, Tamaqua, Tri-Valley, Williams Valley and the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit #29. Rural Health Centers (RHC): In collaboration with the St. Luke's Rural Health Centers and with support from CHWs, connections to care were established to improve access to school physicals, vaccinations, education, and resources. Additionally, the RHCs employs a full-time Public Health Dental Hygienist who is also trained as a CHW. 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).

During FY 25, 2,148 patients were provided Hospice care and 5,658 in Home Health across the Network. 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. Raub Middle School students and SLUHN campus presidents were some of the volunteers that read to elementary school students in the Allentown School District. A Little Free Library was placed at Geisinger St. Luke's front hospital entrance through the work of a volunteer and the Community Health team. The library is supported by the campus to ensure an assortment and abundance of books. Workforce Development: A new partnership developed during FY 25 with the Lifelong Learning Center to address workforce and education connections in Schuylkill County and the Panther Valley area. Miners Campus Human Resources provided connections and information for adult education students to share employment and educational opportunities in healthcare to create an employment pipeline. On November 13, 2024, St. Luke's Chairman of Oncology, Israel Zighelboim, MD and Valeska Zighelboim, RN of St. Luke's Infusion Services presented "Our Journey to the USA". This presentation was held in partnership with the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit 29 Lifelong Learning Center and was geared toward their adult education English as a Second Language students. The purpose was to walk the ESL students through the process of immigrating to America, the steps that the Zighelboim's took to furthering their careers and navigating a different environment and culture. The event was held at Alvernia University Pottsville CollegeTowne and about 20 students/community members attended and participated in an engaging conversation. Healthcare Pipeline Industry Partnership Grant: 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 to completing the program successfully. The program utilized SkillUp assist participants to attain industry-recognized credentials for high-demand careers, including those in healthcare. Additionally, program participants were educated on employabili
- 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. Local Food Pantry Support: Geisinger St. Luke's employees provided ongoing volunteer support to church pantries such as Holy Family in Minersville, Christ Church in McKeansburg and St. John's UCC Church in Orwigsburg as well as at established pantries operated by Schuylkill Community Action and Helping Harvest Food Bank that assist geographical areas in Minersville, St. Clair, South Schuylkill, Auburn, Schuylkill Haven, Pottsville, Frackville and many others.

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. Older Adult Meals: The Geisinger St. Luke's Campus Older Adult Meals Program is designed to provide subsidized meals to adults 65 and older at the Geisinger St. Luke's Campus cafeteria, which served 8,800 meals during FY 25. This initiative addresses food security and loneliness among older adults. Fireside chats were available to the community to help share information and resources for topics such as Heart Health, The Aging Brain, Diabetes, Hernia, Orthopedic, Your Lung Health, Wound Care, and Urology. Additionally, a special event was held in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month which provided mammograms, music, massages and mocktails for participating community members.

Of those tests, six resulted in high levels with three of the children uninsured. Families without insurance were provided information about St. Luke's Rural Health Centers by the Family Advocate from Child Development. Tip sheets and other resources were provided (e.g., Your Child Tested Positive for Lead, Now What?) Additionally, students and families with identified needs were connected to a Community Health Worker to ensure access to care and other resources. 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.

Mental Health Support and Messaging: Support was provided during a Spring 2025 county-wide Avedium Leader Lab Workshop to provide Mental Health resources and handouts to student leaders to take back to their schools for their peers. Mental Health resources were also provided at Blue Mountain High School's Avedium Club's first Annual Mental Health and Self-Care Day. St. Luke's Penn Foundation Education: Providing the community with mental health and addiction prevention education, information, and resources is a vital part of St. Luke's Penn Foundation's (SLPF) programming. SLPF delivers regular in-school presentations to middle and high students and educational presentations in the community on topics such as mental health, substance use, overdose prevention, recovery, and harm reduction. Through its monthly podcast "Just STARt the Conversation," SLPF discusses timely mental health topics such as social media use, perinatal mood disorders, changing careers, getting along in polarizing times, athlete mental health, and more. With over 40 available episodes, this podcast offers relevant information for everyone. Additionally, St. Luke's Wellness 101 has more than 100 episodes that take viewers (ages 13+) on a practical yet humorous step-by-step journey to explore the basics of health and wellness.

Wellness 101 Jr. is a child-friendly version of Wellness 101 that explores the basics of health and wellness for kids ages 612. With almost 40 episodes, children learn about a variety of health topics such as sleep, handling peer pressure, how to ask for help, and more through interactive videos and simple Q&As. SLUHN is currently in year three of a three-year federal grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) as part of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) to address rural substance use disorder in Schuylkill County and the Panther Valley area of Carbon County. The grant focus is on education, prevention, treatment, and recovery of psychostimulants. Some examples of this year's grant activities include: building linkages within the community, addressing stigma and other community education related to SUD, incorporating screening tools for providers to identify and refer patients with SUD, expanding access to mental and behavioral health services, and developing resources to improve the workforce. County drug and alcohol agencies provided prevention activities at local school districts. Monthly meetings were held with community organizations such as drug and alcohol providers, local school districts and head start, as well as housing agencies to coordinate resources and ensure continuity of care. The recovery community was also a large part of this committee, using their lived experience to guide activities. During this year, SLUHN held a "Pathways to Recovery" event targeting community members in need of SUD assistance for themselves or a family member to connect to local organizations and providers. Over 30 community organizations set up exhibit tables and then a panel discussion was held that included representation from community partners from education/prevention, treatment, and recovery.
