Because of the rise in outpatient care, Kirby Hospital announced in 2008 that they would begin an extensive relocation project, involving construction of a new facility.  This expansion would allow for Kirby to increase the level of services and care, better serving the Monticello and Piatt County communities.

Telemedicine and teleradiography are used by Kirby physicians to communicate in the live setting via voice and vision with physicians at larger medical centers about a patient's condition.

Kirby Hospital is part of an impressive healthcare network alliance that includes Carle Foundation, Provena Covenant, St. Mary's, and Decatur Memorial hospitals.
