As of July 1, Grand View Health has joined St. Luke’s University Health Network, having received all necessary federal and state regulatory approvals.
Grand View Hospital in Sellersville is St. Luke’s 16th campus, the culmination of a process that began in earnest last year.
Last September, Grand View and St. Luke’s announced they had signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to partner. On December 31, both organizations signed a definitive agreement to proceed.
“All of us at St. Luke’s are extremely honored and pleased Grand View will be joining our Network,” St. Luke’s President & CEO Rick Anderson said. “Grand View and St. Luke’s are an exceptional match for one another since Grand View, like St. Luke’s, is committed to clinical excellence, has a similar culture and enjoys a long and proud history of providing high quality, compassionate care to its community.”
Doug Hughes, who was named president and CEO of Grand View in 2022, will continue to serve as President of the St. Luke’s Grand View Campus and report to St. Luke’s Executive Vice President & COO Joel Fagerstrom.
Hughes was initially appointed interim president and CEO in 2021 and led Grand View Health during some of the most challenging years of the COVID-19 epidemic. He also oversaw the addition of a 190,000-square-foot pavilion at Grand View Hospital and the accreditation of the hospital as a Level II trauma center. He began his employment at Grand View in 2018 in the role of Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer.
Grand View Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Loughery said, “Our Board of Trustees and senior leadership team are absolutely thrilled and very grateful for our community that Grand View will become part of St. Luke’s, an organization whose name is synonymous with the highest quality, compassionate care and whose truly outstanding culture is admired by other health systems in Pennsylvania and nationwide.”
Headquartered in Sellersville, Grand View was established in 1913 as Bucks County’s first hospital. It has grown into a nonprofit, community-based health system of 2,000 employees, caring for residents of Bucks and Montgomery counties. It has received an ‘A’ grade for safety from the Leapfrog Group and has earned five stars (the highest) for quality from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
St. Luke’s is a fully integrated regional non-profit health care network with 21,000 employees and over $4 billion in revenue. With more than 350 outpatient sites, it serves 11 counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. St. Luke’s hospitals consistently earn numerous national awards, including ‘A’ grades for safety from Leapfrog, five stars for quality from CMS, and 100 Top Hospitals designations from Premier. St. Luke’s has continued to earn numerous employer recognitions, including being ranked as a Top Workplace by the Morning Call, the Philadelphia Inquirer and USA Today. St. Luke’s is listed by Forbes Magazine as One of America’s Best Employers for New Grads and the best healthcare employer in the nation.
St. Luke’s has an unparalleled track record of successfully integrating community hospitals, including the Quakertown (1995), Allentown (1997), Miners (2000), Warren (2012), Blue Mountain (2017), Sacred Heart (2018) and Easton (2020) hospitals. Penn Foundation, a mental health and addiction services provider based in Sellersville across from Grand View Hospital, joined St. Luke’s in 2021.
“St. Luke’s philosophy remains that health care is a local issue, which has allowed all of the hospitals and other organizations that joined our Network to not only survive, but to thrive for the health and wellbeing of their patients and the economic benefit of their respective communities,” Anderson said.
