St Luke’s University Health Network has opened the new St Luke’s Children’s Hospital at its Bethlehem Campus, located in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania, US.
St Luke’s initially launched the Baby & Me Support Center in 2017 to provide comprehensive baby-related education and counselling from one location.
In 2020, a $5m, eight-bed paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), which offers advanced care to critically ill children, was added to the St Luke’s Bethlehem Campus.
Last year, St Luke’s became a Children’s Hospital Association member, with the St Luke’s Pediatric Specialty Center opening in May the same year.
The paediatric centre is claimed to be the first and only free-standing facility in the region that is completely dedicated to children. It also allows families to coordinate several speciality appointments at a single location.
St Luke’s later refurbished its 17-bed paediatric inpatient unit.
