A Hospice organization serving patients and families in 30 Ohio counties bought new office space in Centerville.

In a statement, Ohio’s Hospice said it will locate mission support services and administrative offices in the building. A spokesman did not know how many employees will move to the building.

Kent Anderson, the organization’s president and chief executive, said in a statement the space will serve as a “mission headquarters” for the not-for-profit hospices. Ohio’s Hospice is a 501(3)(c) tax-exempt organization.

Ohio’s Hospice is a group of six Ohio hospice organizations, with a headquarters at 324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton.

The statewide organization has just over 1,000 employees working in 30 Ohio counties.
