Life in the Lehigh Valley

I chose St. Luke's for my gynecologic oncology fellowship because of its outstanding mentorship and robust surgical training. What also stood out to me was how genuinely happy that fellows and faculty seemed, reflecting a close-knit, community-oriented culture that renders support. More so, the health network resources including accessibility for patients demonstrated the commitment to fostering the patient-physician relationship.
