Our Facility
State-of-the-Art Medical Center in Monticello
Kirby Medical Center is located in the heart of Monticello, one of Illinois’
finest communities. Our latest facility was built to be incredibly efficient
and equipped with some of the best medical technology available. Our many
departments promote health and wellness in Piatt County.
Main Entrance
The main entrance at Kirby Medical Center is the place you will enter when
your visit is for an outpatient service or to see a patient, attend a
community education class, stop by the gift shop or join us in the café.
Here you will be greeted by a member of our guest services team.
Inpatient Room
All patient suites are private and each, including the bariatric patient
suite, has been designed specifically with our patient’s needs in
mind. They are spacious, warm and feel more like home than a hospital.
Each suite features a private bath, a family area complete with a pull-out
bed for your comfort during an overnight stay and a caregiver’s
work space.
Kirby Medical Center’s efficient design includes a central nursing
station that allows nursing staff to care for and monitor patients both
in the inpatient unit as well as the Emergency Department.
Emergency Department
When the unexpected occurs, expect the best at Kirby Medical Center. Our
Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day by board-certified emergency
physicians who are all Advanced Life Support (ALS) certified. Our registered
nurses are also specially trained in emergency care – ensuring that
our patients have access to a comprehensive care team fully prepared to
treat even the most serious and life threatening medical conditions.”
Laboratory
The Kirby Medical Center Laboratory is an accredited full-service facility
providing round-the-clock coverage every day of the year. We are dedicated
to providing rapid access to precise and accurate laboratory data that
assists in the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of our
patients. Our experienced and friendly staff consists of board-certified
medical technologists, technicians and professional personnel, all of
whom are highly trained and happy to be of service.
Diagnostic Imaging
Kirby Medical Center expands the diagnostic imaging services available
to community members and providers. The women’s imaging suite offers
digital mammography in a quiet, beautifully appointed space. Other diagnostic
imaging services include:
- Bone Densitometry (DEXA)
- Ultrasound
- X-Ray
- Mobile MRI/PET/CT
- A NEW 64-Slice CT, the newer generation of computed tomography technology
Surgery
The Kirby Medical Center surgery department provides specialists with an
exceptional space to perform more complex surgeries. Larger and spacious
surgery suites with room for future growth, in addition to private surgery
staging rooms, all meet today’s contemporary standards for uncompromising
patient care and the ideal environment for our growing complement of surgery
specialists.
Same Day Surgery and Sleep Center
Many surgeries performed today are done on an outpatient basis –
in early and out before dinner time. The outpatient surgery department
also includes a private special procedures suite for a variety of common
procedures such as colonoscopies and endoscopies. Outpatient surgery staging
suites also convert to modern night time sleep study rooms to help diagnose
sleep disorders such as sleep apnea.
Dining, Healing Garden, Gift Shop
Kirby Medical Center is pleased to make available the Apple a Day Café,
where you are invited to dine with us for breakfast or lunch any week
day or you can stop by to grab a quick snack. Should your visit with us
include an inpatient stay, private in-room dining menus are provided and
delicious, nutritious meals are made to order and delivered to your patient
suite. Guest meals can also be provided for a nominal fee. When weather
permits, guests can also dine in the outside patio area.
The Healing Garden offers patients and their guests a quiet place to reflect
and be closer to nature’s wonders.
The gift shop is operated by the dedicated men and women serving on the
Kirby Auxiliary. Proceeds from sales within the gift shop provide a tremendous
benefit to furthering Kirby Medical Center’s mission to provide
outstanding healthcare to families across Piatt County.
Rehabilitative Therapy Services
After illness or surgery, rehabilitative therapy is the way forward to
better overall health. The rehabilitative services department provides
a wide variety of high-end equipment and wonderful views of our healing garden.
Health Information Management (Medical Records)
Kirby Medical Center’s health information management division provides
all physicians on the medical staff convenient access to patient records
in a highly secure space.
Kirby Medical Group
Patients who choose KMG as their family’s primary care providers
will enjoy convenient access to diagnostic imaging, lab and other services
without ever stepping out of the facility.
Historical Giving Wall
The Kirby organization originated from a gift, an act of kindness toward
the people of Piatt County by John and Mary Kirby. The tradition of giving
continued for the next 75 years with their daughter and son-in-law, along
with many other community members. The names of the individuals and businesses
displayed on the Historical Giving Wall represent a rich history of giving
to Kirby Hospital on State Street. These donors provided the hospital
with the necessary resources to deliver quality healthcare locally, just
as the Kirby family envisioned so many years ago.
Sustained Giving Donor Recognition
Throughout Kirby Medical Center, the names of those whom we’re honoring
for their campaign leadership gifts can be found on a special recognition
wall, as do the names of those who are carrying on the spirit of philanthropy
through sustained giving.
