Bellevue Hospital Plans Continue; Groundbreaking Spring 2007

Although the ground at the southwest corner of Highway 370 and 25th Street remains undisturbed, plans continue to move forward with the Bellevue Medical Center.

Since The Nebraska Medical Center announced plans to build a new hospital in Bellevue during a May 16 press conference, behind the scenes work has been going on.
Probably the most substantial news of substance is the selection of the board of directors for the Bellevue hospital. The 12-member board began meeting in August. The board consists of:

• James Biskup, MD
• Roy Holeyfield Jr., MD
• Richard Osterholm, MD
• Timothy Kingston, MD
• Marlin Stahl, MD
• Michael Sitorius, MD
• Carl Smith, MD
• Col. Robert Valentine
• Bill Dinsmoor
• Marty Carmody
• Chuck Lakso

"Bellevue Medical Center will house 200,000 square feet of comprehensive patient services including emergency care, obstetrics, inpatient and outpatient surgery, intensive
care, cardiac catheterization, pharmacy, radiology and lab testing. Current plans allow for approximately 80 private inpatient and observation beds with enough space to add 60 additional beds in the future."

Bellevue Medical Center will house 200,000 square feet of comprehensive patient services including emergency care, obstetrics, inpatient and outpatient surgery, intensive
care, cardiac catheterization, pharmacy, radiology and lab testing. Current plans allow for approximately 80 private inpatient and observation beds with enough space to add 60 additional beds in the future.

A new medical office building adds another 60,000 square feet to the project. Located adjacent to the main hospital, it will enhance patient care and convenience by providing additional areas for clinics and offering state of-the-art diagnostic services to assist physicians in prompt diagnosis and treatment.
