Bethlehem, Pa.-based St. Luke’s University Health Network completed its four-year, $17 million emergency room expansion project at its Bethlehem campus, adding 5,000 square feet to the existing space, including new and renovated space for adult patients and pediatric emergency care.
The completed emergency room now spans 25,329 square feet and hosts 40 adult beds, 10 dedicated pediatric beds and separate waiting rooms for adults and children.
“This project gives our physicians, nurses and staff specialized spaces to deliver the high-quality care our community expects,” Wendy Lazo, president of St. Luke’s University Hospital, Bethlehem, said in a news release. “Our ER sees about 48,000 visits each year, and we are proud to welcome patients into spaces tailored to their needs, whether a child or an adult faces a life-threatening emergency.”
The Bethlehem Campus is also home to St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital, 24-hour adult trauma care and a comprehensive stroke center.
