MORE SPOTS IN THE LOT
The next time you visit Kirby Medical Center, you might notice something different – a lot more space to park! As part of our expansion, we've added 88 parking spaces to ensure patients and family members don't have a problem finding a spot in our lots. We hope you enjoy this added space and thank you for your patience during construction.
HISTORY
A PIECE OF
Kirby Medical Center is proud of our history, from our humble beginnings in 1941 when the Kirby Mansion was transformed into the John and Mary E. Kirby Hospital. By leaving their estate for the purpose of establishing a community hospital, John and Mary ensured the health of the community they loved would be well provided for. In 1975, the aging, original hospital building had to be replaced. A new John and Mary E. Kirby Hospital was built on the same site as the old hospital, and the legacy of the first hospital was carried on by utilizing bricks from the original building in the construction of the new facility. In 2011, Kirby Medical Center acquired 108 acres of property along Interstate 72 and built a new, state-of-the-art facility on that site. As we move forward with our expansion plans seven years later, we have honored this heritage by including this brick from the Kirby Mansion as part of our construction of the outer walls.
Community Outreach
As part of Phase One of the expansion, Kirby Medical Center will be adding a new Community Outreach Conference Room. With this new space, we look forward to improving our leadership in community health education. Kirby providers and staff will be able to utilize this room to address and invite community members to discuss specific educational and health needs. Plus, this space can be used for: • Health-related classes, activities and presentations to the general community • Private groups to hold meetings and presentations • Organizations that need space to plan, discuss and implement positive changes in our community Kirby Medical Center is excited for the additional opportunities for expanded community partnerships that this new space provides.
