RUSSELL, Ky. - Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital has expanded its campus with the recent move of several hospital departments to Bellefonte Centre, the former Ashland Inc. headquarters building at 1000 Ashland Drive, Russell.

OLBH officials first announced the hospital's expansion plans during last year when the building was renamed Bellefonte Centre.

"It is exciting for all of us to be a part of this expansion," Mark Gordon, OLBH CEO, said. "Bellefonte Centre is a world-class facility that the hospital is proud to occupy. In addition to the benefits and efficiencies the building provides OLBH, the facility and its available parking will be well suited for medical office space and provide convenience for physicians who desire to be located on the hospital's now expanded campus."

The hospital signed on as the building's first tenant. Departments relocated to Bellefonte Centre include accounting, billing, centralized scheduling, Community HealthWatch Partnership, finance, human resources, managed care, marketing, the OLBH Foundation, payroll, physician recruiting, pre-registration and quality.

The departments occupy Bellefonte Centre's fourth floor and are open for business to the public. All phone numbers for the departments have remained the same.
