                Kirby Medical Center and The Kirby Foundation to Offer Free Expedited COVID Testing for School Students and Faculty

                Kirby Medical Center and The Kirby Foundation to Offer Free Expedited COVID Testing for School Students and Faculty


                Kirby Medical Center and The Kirby Foundation are partnering with Monticello, Bement, Deland-Weldon, Cerro Gordo, Argenta-Oreana, and Atwood-Hammond-Arthur-Lovington schools to provide free and expedited COVID-19 testing for students or faculty that have symptoms triggering a quarantine. The goal is to process the results in 24 hours or less and reduce the amount of unnecessary quarantine.

                Michelle Gross, chair of The Kirby Foundation says, “The Kirby Foundation is excited and proud to fund the cost of this program. ‘Making Piatt County a healthier place to live’ is core to the vision statement of Kirby Medical Center and the Kirby Foundation and we can’t think of a better way to support that vision.”
                The hospital intends to make the program available starting October 12th and is coordinating the process with the various schools regarding the process and information to be reported back to the schools.


                “Keeping the students in school and the teachers available to teach benefits everyone”, says Kirby Medical Center CEO Steve Tenhouse, “We are glad to finally have the technology available to make this possible and thankful for The Kirby Foundation’s funding of the purchase.”
