Annual Giving Clubs
Members of the St. Luke's Cortland Whitehead Society recently were
invited to participate in a hands-on demonstration of the state-of-the-
art daVinci robotic surgery equipment, used to perform minimally-
invasive surgical procedures at St. Luke's Hospital - Bethlehem
Campus.
We are confident in the benefits the da Vinci Surgical System provides
to our doctors and patients, so much so that we are offering a first-
of-its-kind guarantee on robotic prostatectomies at St. Luke's.

Total combined calendar year donations qualify for recognition in the following categories. Membership in annual giving clubs is renewed annually.

Cortland Whitehead Society
"We therefore solicit subscriptions and contributions from all. The smallest, as well as the largest, will be thankfully received. Our object is to heal the wounds and lessen the pains of suffering humanity. Will not everyone who reads this give us something?" Rev. Cortland Whitehead
We recognize the Reverend Cortland Whitehead for his vision and for the tradition of philanthropy that he began at St. Luke's Hospital over a century ago. The Cortland Whitehead Society is made up of our most faithful donors – those who give to our hospital year after year ($1,000 or more total giving each year) to ensure that St. Luke's is able to provide compassionate, excellent quality and cost-effective health care to the residents of communities we serve regardless of their ability to pay.
