Kimble Hospital has 15 acute care beds. These beds can also be used as “Swing Beds” — extra recovery time for Medicare patients who need more healing before going home. We care for patients with conditions like heart attacks, heart failure, pneumonia, the flu, COPD (a chronic lung condition), and diabetes. We also provide end-of-life care in comfortable rooms designed for patients and their families, along with radiology and physical therapy services.
Kimble Hospital has 15 inpatient acute care beds, including a special suite for end-of-life care. We care for patients with acute conditions as well as Swing Bed patients.
Kimble Hospital’s Emergency Department is a Level IV Trauma Center, a state designation for hospitals equipped to treat emergencies of all kinds. We’re open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, with qualified providers and nursing staff ready to help.
We also use telemedicine — video visits with specialists — to help diagnose and plan treatment for our patients.
Our full-service laboratory performs about 30,000 tests each year on tissue, blood, and other samples. Common tests check for diabetes, high cholesterol, and infections.
Caring for our senior adults in a program designed to meet the mental and physical needs of the most vulnerable members of our community.
The Swing Bed Program gives Medicare patients extra time to recover close to home. If you’ve left the hospital after an illness, injury, or surgery but still need physical therapy before you’re ready to go home, this program is for you.
Our Radiology Department offers X-rays, portable X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds for both hospital patients and outpatients. A licensed technologist performs exams around the clock, and your local provider can view the images right away. The images are also sent to a board-certified radiologist — a doctor who specializes in reading scans — who confirms the results within a few hours. This helps your doctor diagnose and treat you quickly, whether it’s an emergency or a routine visit.
Our Physical Therapy Department helps hospital patients, Swing Bed patients, and outpatients recover from movement, balance, and strength problems caused by aging, illness, injury, or surgery. Our staff works closely with you and your provider to build a plan that helps you get back to full function, using a range of specialized equipment.
