Healthcare
Having opened its doors in December of 1975, Kishwaukee Community Hospital has been a significant fixture in the greater DeKalb healthcare community. A part of the esteemed System and fully accredited by the JCAHO, KCH is a non-profit short-term, acute-care facility dedicated to providing the most up-to-date, compassionate healthcare in this area. A wide scope of medical services are available through the hospital, ranging from heart health, ophthalmology, surgery, pain management and women’s health to emergency services, hospice care, pediatrics and pulmonary rehabilitation. Moreover, classes and programs focusing on adult wellness, fitness, support and more, along with community screenings and blood drives are all easily accessible through KCH.
A $102 million replacement hospital project was recently completed in fall of 2007, providing for greatly enhanced medical care through a modern structure, progressive technology and improved methods and services. Features of the new facility include all private rooms and advanced technology with such equipment as on-site MRI and PET/CT scan, inpatient dialysis and a diagnostic cardiac catheterization lab—among many other major elements.
The design of the new hospital is also an important attribute, with an efficient corridor configuration, nursing documentation stations situated between every two rooms and the central location of both the Emergency Department in the front and Outpatient Services to better serve patients. In promoting an enriched healing environment, the new hospital’s plans included a healing garden as well, which is comprised of stunningly landscaped scenery characterized by water elements, a walking path and sites for relaxation. Additionally, a number of KCH’s patient rooms will offer a view of the serene garden as part of this new healing environment.
The new Kishwaukee Community Hospital has already felt its success in the area, and its bright future can only hold further advancement and achievement.
