NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, Pa. – St. Luke\u2019s Health Center in Hellertown has officially cut the ribbon and opened its doors to the public on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Located at 110 Main Street, Hellertown, the building is the site of the former Rite Aid that closed last summer.<\/p>\n
St. Luke\u2019s completed the property purchase earlier this year and completely renovated the space. The project took about three months to complete.<\/p>\n
St. Luke\u2019s says this new location gives the community improved access to convenient same-day care, expanded primary care and on-site diagnostic services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new facility represents an important step forward in how we serve the Hellertown and Saucon Valley communities,\u201d said Wendy Lazo, president of St. Luke\u2019s University Hospital in Bethlehem.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy building on the trusted care already available here and adding new services, we\u2019re making it easier for patients and families to access the care they need close to home,\u201d Lazo added.<\/p>\n
The practice says this 13,000-square-foot building is home to a wide range of new services for the local community.<\/p>\n
Additionally, they shared the location features improved disabled access ramps around the building, upgraded exterior and parking lot lighting, a freshly sealed parking lot, and new landscaping around the entire building.<\/p>\n
St. Luke\u2019s Saucon Valley Family Practice relocated to the new Main St. location from its former location on Front St. The move expanded the facility to 16 exam rooms compared to the 11 in its former home.<\/p>\n
The Health Center offers a full array of services, including:<\/p>\n
Care Now walk-in services for non-emergent illnesses<\/p>\n
Walk-in X-ray services<\/p>\n
Walk-in lab services.<\/p>\n
