Summer 2023 has been filled with optimism as our St. Luke’s family celebrates important milestones—including the opening of the St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital at the Bethlehem Campus. This new community resource is the culmination of a decade-long expansion of pediatric services.

To the thoughtful donors who have supported our efforts, please accept our sincere thanks. And to the future donors who will be inspired to join us in enhancing the health and well-being of local kids, we invite you to learn more.

Together, we are bringing hope and creating a healthier future for all.

With gratitude,

Patrick J. Bower
Vice President for Development and External Affairs

In the words of Dr. Jennifer Janco, Chair of Pediatrics, “St. Luke’s is prepared to deliver on the promise to care for your family.” This promise is backed by the new St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital and a growing team of pediatricians, pediatric specialists, and specially designed facilities. St. Luke’s now offers expert care across 40 pediatric specialties and a range of services, including a new child life program to assist children and families in managing the fear and anxiety that so often accompany illness.

Philanthropy is a wonderful opportunity to support the healing of a sick or injured child. Learn more by visiting sluhn.org/development or contacting our team at 484-658-1064.

Air Products is encouraging healthy living to take root and grow in the Lehigh Valley by donating $25,000 from the Air Products Foundation to the St. Luke’s Rodale Institute Organic Farm. Nestled on 15 acres at the Anderson Campus in Bethlehem, the farm is already home to 70+ varieties of fruits and vegetables.

The generous funding from Air Products will help establish the farm’s first orchard, with more than 700 apple and pear trees that will feed St. Luke’s patients, visitors, and employees for generations to come.

The spring and summer months were packed with opportunities to gather and support the work happening across St. Luke’s. Recently, beloved events such as the St. Luke’s Charity Ball, Bikers Against Bullies, Boutique at the Rink, and the Hospice Bike Ride have collectively generated $750,000.

These funds advance the education of our nursing students as well as the care we provide to children, patients battling cancer, and those at the end of life's journey. We are grateful to everyone who joins us each year—with special thanks to our generous sponsors and volunteers for making these events so successful.

Danielle Dupuis, owner and president of Century Wire Products located in Wind Gap, PA and Moriarty, NM, recently made a gift of $25,000 to support the expansion of the St. Luke’s Monroe Campus. When completed, the project will double the size of the existing hospital, greatly improving access to care for local patients.

The surprise gift presentation was made during Century Wire’s 25th anniversary celebration at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn. Danielle credits St. Luke’s with saving her life, and she has expressed her gratitude by generously donating over $200,000 to the Monroe Campus.
