St. Luke’s University Health Network President and CEO Richard A. Anderson received The Boy Scouts of America Minsi Trails Council’s 2017 Good Scout Award.
The prestigious award was given at the yearly South Mountain District Good Scout Breakfast on Wednesday morning at the Event Center at Blue in Bethlehem. Anderson was recognized by area Scouts as well as business and community leaders for his achievements and service to the community.
“Richard Anderson exemplifies all the good that comes out of our community — the character, leadership and positive impact,” Arby Beisel, South Mountain senior district executive, said. “We are grateful that under Richard Anderson, St. Luke’s has been a tremendous partner, faithfully providing facilities, education and donations to Scouts.”
Anderson has led St. Luke’s University Health Network since 1985. He has overseen St. Luke’s evolution into one of the largest health networks in Pennsylvania and western New Jersey.
