St. Luke’s University Health Network announced Tuesday that it has received statewide recognition for its patient safety.
The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) is recognizing four St. Luke’s campuses through its 2026 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program.
HAP is recognizing 20 hospitals this year based on their performance during 2025, four of which are St. Luke’s:
The health network noted in a release that this is the fifth consecutive year St. Luke’s Monroe Campus has been honored through the Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program.
St. Luke’s University Hospital’s Bethlehem Campus has been honored all eight years. The Bethlehem Campus is the only hospital in the state to earn this important designation every year that HAP has awarded it.
“This is one more affirmation of our commitment to patient care and safety to go along with earning straight A’s from Leapfrog for hospital safety, and why St. Luke’s is recognized by Modern Healthcare and Premier as one of the Top 15 Health System,” said Donna Sabol, St. Luke’s senior vice president and chief quality officer. “St. Luke’s record is so impressive because our doctors, nurses and other caregivers are fully committed to our Network’s mission to deliver the very best care to patients.”
