Not sure where to go when you’re not feeling well? Knowing the right level of care can save you time — and ensure you get the treatment you need.

Primary Care
Routine visits, check-ups, chronic condition management, medication questions, and general health concerns.

Quick Care
When you’re sick or hurt and need to be seen soon — sprains, minor injuries, moderate asthma symptoms, UTIs, cuts, or back pain.

Emergency Care
Life-threatening conditions — chest pain, significant difficulty breathing, broken bones, serious burns, or situations where immediate help is needed.

If it’s not life-threatening, starting with the right level of care helps keep our Emergency Room available for true emergencies.

When in doubt, we’re here to help guide you.

Kirby Medical Center is proud to partner with Piatt County - Emergency Management Agency to help equip our local students with lifesaving skills.

Recently, students at Bement CUSD 5 Middle and High School participated in Stop the Bleed, AED, and CPR training in collaboration with Piatt County - Emergency Management Agency and Kirby Paramedics. Providing hands-on education like this empowers young people with the confidence and knowledge to respond in an emergency — and potentially save a life.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support our schools and strengthen the health and safety of our communities. Thank you to everyone who made this training possible!

Today, we were proud to host The Kirby Foundation Non-Profit Luncheon at Kirby Medical Center, bringing together organizations committed to strengthening our communities.

A special thank you to the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois for providing two micro-grants that were randomly drawn and gifted to attending organizations- Congratulations to Willow Tree Missions and Nicole Dowling with Family Service!

Opportunities like this create meaningful momentum for local non-profits doing important work across our region.

The Kirby Foundation continues to play a vital role in sustaining Kirby Medical Center’s dedication to excellence by building strong community connections and supporting initiatives that enhance patient care and community health.

We were also honored to hear from Stefanie Santos McLeese, who shared insights on how organizations can thoughtfully evolve their brand identity and narrative to deepen impact and create lasting change in real lives.

🧡 Orange Out 2026 🧡

Kirby Medical Center is honored to be a proud supporter of St. Jude Runs and the annual Orange Out game at Monticello High School, held in memory of former school nurse Natalie McDowell.

Natalie was a passionate advocate for St. Jude Runs, and we are grateful to stand alongside the Monticello community in continuing her legacy of compassion and generosity.

Thanks to the dedication of Monticello High School students, staff, Pep Club, and the incredible support of the community, $6,220.91 was raised this year! Funds came from:

• Orange Out apparel sales
• Pie in the Face Wars
• Raffle baskets
• 50/50 drawings
• General donations
• And Kirby was proud to contribute a $2,500 donation in support of this meaningful cause

We especially want to recognize the hard work of the Pep Club and student leaders who coordinated events, encouraged participation, and brought so much energy to both the game and the Pep Assembly. Their leadership truly made this fundraiser a success.

To everyone who donated, participated, cheered, volunteered, or even took a pie in the face — thank you. Because of you, Natalie’s legacy continues to make a difference, and hope continues to grow for families supported by St. Jude.

We are proud to support our schools, our students, and causes that strengthen our community. 🧡
