85 Years of Caring for Our Community
Honoring Our Past. Celebrating Our Present. Building Our Future.
For 85 years, Kirby Medical Center has been a trusted name in compassionate, community-based healthcare. From our humble beginnings in 1941 to today’s innovative medical campus, our mission has remained the same — providing exceptional care, close to home.
Our Legacy
Rooted in Our Community Since 1941
The story of Kirby Medical Center began with John and Mary E. Kirby, whose vision for a hospital in Piatt County became reality in 1941. Their generosity established a cornerstone of care that has grown from a 15-room facility into a modern medical campus serving thousands each year.
Over the decades, Kirby has evolved with the needs of our community — adding surgical suites, therapy centers, outpatient clinics, and advanced imaging — all while maintaining our patient-first philosophy.

As we celebrate this milestone year, we extend our gratitude to our caregivers, staff, volunteers, The Kirby Foundation, and the many patients and community members who have supported our mission. We take pride in remembering our past, and we look forward to a strong and vibrant future together.
