St. Luke's University Health Network holds a ribbon-cutting ceremony Dec. 13 for the area's newest specialty hospital for orthopedic surgery, where expert teams will perform same-day surgeries of the knee, hip, spine, hand and shoulder and treat a myriad of sports-related fractures and other injuries. The first patients were treated in the new hospital beginning Dec. 18. St. Luke's Orthopedic Hospital, built with American steel, is a two-story, 52,000 square-foot facility located at the St. Luke's West End Campus, 501 Cetronia Road, Allentown. “This hospital will provide the ideal orthopedic patient experience in terms of quality, comfort and convenience,” St. Luke's Chairman of Orthopedics Douglas Lundy, MD, said.
