Scott Wolfe formerly served as the president of St. Luke's Warren Campus.

St. Luke's University Health Network—a Pennsylvania-based healthcare organization with over $2.7 billion in revenue—has permanently appointed Scott Wolfe to the position of chief financial officer.

Wolfe stepped in as interim senior vice president of finance and CFO in January 2022. He succeeds  Thomas Lichtenwalner, who passed away in November 2021. Before stepping into the CFO role, Wolfe served as president of St. Luke's Warren Campus based in Philipsburg, New Jersey. He has held that role since April 2012 shortly after the former Warren Hospital joined St. Luke's that same year.

While leading Warren Campus, Wolfe oversaw a $150 million investment from St. Luke's that helped to expand access to care in the New Jersey market of Warren and Hunterdon Counties. That investment also went toward expanding services including surgical and GI procedures, weight management, endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, and various pediatric subspecialties. The investment also helped rebuild almost all the patient care areas, providing a more state-of-the-art clinical setting.

A decade ago, it would have been nearly impossible to envision the revitalization of Warren Hospital and the powerful impact of its partnership with St. Luke's University Health Network," Karen Kubert, St. Luke's Warren Campus Board Chairman, said in a press release announcing Wolfe's promotion. "Today, the Warren Campus's restored reputation is spreading by word of mouth."
