Fayette County Hospital's Wellness Complex last week held an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its expanded facility at 825 New York Ave. (behind Wendy's).

The expansion allows for more examination rooms and other space for patient care as the facility has recently added a new family physician, Dr. Glenn Skow – shown next to Mayor Rick Gottman in the front row. Included in the open house were free food and tours of the new facility. The telephone number for The Wellness Complex is 283-5545.

Friendship Manor of St. Elmo recently received a five-star overall rating by Nursing Home Compare, a website within the medicare.gov website.
The star ratings are given to each nursing home facility, based on their ratings in four categories: health inspections, staffing, quality ratings and overall rating. One star indicates “much below average,” two stars means “below average,” three stars is “average,” four stars is “above average,” and five stars means “much above average.”
