Practice & Health System Overview
St.
Luke’s University Health Network has experienced substantial growth over the past decade, with multiple new campuses recently opened and additional expansion underway.
ASB provides comprehensive anesthesia services across 13 inpatient hospitals and 3 ambulatory surgery centers.
Key facilities include:
  • St. Luke’s Bethlehem Campus – Level I Trauma Center and primary inpatient facility
  • St. Luke’s Anderson Campus – Level II Trauma Center, featuring a modern Mother and Baby Pavilion with approximately 3,500 deliveries annually

Acute Pain & Regional Anesthesia Service
ASB operates a robust, physician-led Acute Pain and Regional Anesthesia Service.
The daily team includes:
  • One anesthesiologist from a dedicated regional/pain faculty
  • A nurse practitioner with expertise in addiction medicine
  • Three physician assistants
The attending anesthesiologist focuses on interventional pain management, including thoracic and lumbar epidurals, peripheral nerve blocks, continuous catheter techniques, and postoperative follow-up.
Advanced practice providers manage multimodal analgesic regimens and assist with procedures.
ASB maintains strong collaboration with network pharmacy services, enabling the use of advanced agents such as liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) and participation in emerging regional anesthesia technologies and clinical trials, including Iovera cryoanalgesia for joint replacement procedures.
Our acute pain service emphasizes multimodal, opioid-sparing analgesia, incorporating regional and neuraxial techniques along with adjuncts such as ketamine, magnesium, lidocaine infusions, and methadone when appropriate.
Members of the pain service are supported in ongoing education, including attendance at ASRA conferences.
⸻
Clinical Model & Physician Leadership
ASB is deeply committed to the Perioperative Surgical Home model.
Our physicians lead:
  • Surgical Optimization Clinics
  • ERAS protocols across nearly all surgical specialties
Physician leadership is integral to the culture of the practice.
