History
The nearly 50yearold photograph of the groundbreaking ceremony for a new Campbell County hospital speaks volumes City leaders partnering with area physicians to symbolically begin construction and produce one of the areas most important institutions

St Marys Health System has joined physicians and city and county leaders to provide high quality health care to Campbell County and surrounding communities building upon the structure as well as the critical services it provides

In the summer of 1956 LaFollette Community Hospital opened with 44 beds 41 employees and one delivery room Four years later a new wing was built adding 32 new beds and an emergency room

A 50bed nursing home was built in 1968 The hospital was remodeled in 73 and another 48 beds were added to the nursing home In 82 the hospital was renamed the LaFollette Medical Center

At the turn of the century St Marys agreed to lease and operate the hospital renaming it St Marys Medical Center of Campbell County In just a short period of time St Marys has transformed the physical building making the single largest investment in the facility in 25 years and greatly improved the medical service that physicians nurses and associates deliver every day

St Marys is proud to be Campbell Countys hospital and stands ready to provide high quality health care to people all over the region
