Area Legislators Get Down to Business at St. Luke’s Center

March 08, 2016

Bethlehem, PA (3/8/2016) – Five Congressmen joined voices with the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce on March 8 to talk about the state of Lehigh Valley business and to talk about politics in general as part of the recording of Chamber’s weekly Business Matters program.

St. Luke’s University Health Network was the event’s presenting sponsor as the panel discussion was held in the glass-filled dining room of St. Luke’s Center in Hanover Township, Lehigh County.

Louis J. Barletta – (R) PA District 11; Matthew Cartwright – (D) PA District 17; Charles Dent – (R) PA District 15; Michael Fitzpatrick – (R) PA District 8, and Leonard J. Lance – (R) NJ District 7 answered rapidly fired questions presented by host and Chamber President and CEO Tony Iannelli.

Conversations touched on everything from Presidential primaries, conventions and elections to the economy, and Supreme Court nominee practices as well as gun control.

Business Matters is broadcast at 7:30 p.m. Mondays on WFMZ Channel 69.

The show was recorded before a live studio audience at St. Luke’s Center, where the health network recently consolidated its administrative offices. The move was an opportunity to reuse and repurpose 250,000 square feet of an existing facility, cutting significant costs and sharply increasing efficiencies for the system.
