St. Luke’s Again Voted Best Hospital/Health Network in Morning Call Readers’ Choice Poll

November 30, 2020

Once again, St. Luke’s University Health Network is the people’s choice for providing the region’s best health care. St. Luke’s has won four 2020 Morning Call Readers’ Choice Awards.

“We take great pride that our patients and residents of the Lehigh Valley have once again recognized us as their choice for the best health care in the region,” says St. Luke’s Chief Marketing Officer Ken Szydlow.

During the annual contest, Morning Call readers vote for their preferred services, dining, entertainment and more in the Lehigh Valley. Morning Call readers voted St. Luke’s as the best in the following categories:

  • Hospital/Health Network (again)
  • Place to Have a Baby (again)
  • Gym/Fitness Center (again)
  • MRI / Diagnostic Imaging
  • Medical Specialty Services

Last year, Morning Call readers also selected St. Luke’s as their health network for Place to Work, Obstetrician and Personal Trainer (John Graham, St. Luke’s Fitness & Sports Performance).

“This continued recognition from our patients and the residents of the Lehigh Valley and surrounding communities means that we are, indeed, fulfilling our mission to provide easy access to the highest quality health care in the region,” Szydlow says.
