It’s a boy! The first baby born at St. Luke’s Upper Bucks Campus was welcomed by Dayna and Zech States Aug. 5 in the hospital’s new Women & Babies unit, which opened this month.
Weighing 7 lbs., 5.5 oz, Tatum was delivered by Brandon B. Martin, MD, of the community-based practice, Stoneridge Obstetrics and Gynecology, which recently joined St. Luke’s University Health Network. The practice, now known as St. Luke’s OB/GYN-Stoneridge, continues to provide the personalized and compassionate OB/GYN care patients have come to expect.
St. Luke’s OB/GYN-Stoneridge will continue to see patients at their current Sellersville location and will open new locations this fall in Harleysville and Quakertown. The Harleysville office will also have a new St. Luke’s Pediatric practice next door. In addition, St. Luke’s OB/GYN-Stoneridge now offers the added convenience of delivery at the state-of-the-art St. Luke’s Upper Bucks Campus.
“The Women & Babies unit at St. Luke’s Upper Bucks Campus is just the latest component of our ongoing commitment to providing high-level maternal and newborn care to the region,” said Justin Kashner, MBA, Service Line Administrator, Women’s Health, St. Luke’s University Health Network. “St. Luke’s has now expanded its high quality, personalized care for families and babies in Bucks and Montgomery counties.”
Located in Milford Township at the intersection of Rt. 663 and Portzer Road, the 80-bed, 131,000 square-foot St. Luke’s Upper Bucks Campus offers spacious private rooms, critical care and surgical services, a large emergency department with 16 emergency rooms and interventional radiology.

In September, the campus will break ground on a three-story addition, which will include a cancer center with medical offices, infusion, radiation oncology and expanded obstetric services as well as room for additional growth. The new wing is scheduled for completion in early 2023.
