The Marketing Department of The Bellevue Hospital is open from 8 am until 4:30 pm each weekday. However, because of special events and hospital & community activities, the department also has flexible hours of availability.

The department is reflective of the idea, goal and vision of The Bellevue Hospital. The department is The Bellevue Hospital. The hospital’s employees, executive and medical staff, board of directors, auxiliary and volunteers are also members of the marketing department.

 “The Marketing Department represents the hospital and the caring part of health care.”

The department also forms the communication link between the services offered and the patients served. The department tells the who, what, when and where of the programs and events.

“Each member of The Bellevue Hospital’s family is responsible for listening and understanding what people are asking for or telling us, anything from a new service or a way to improve on what we are currently doing. Then, by working as a team, we can create and build better ways of offering the Best of Care -- It’s what our patients deserve and what we demand from ourselves.”
