History

Established in 1941.

Inspired by a History of Philanthropy

In 1850, John Kirby left his home in Limerick County, Ireland and headed for America. When he eventually settled in Monticello, Illinois, he could not have imagined that some day he would be revered as a great community leader. Today, more than 90 years after his passing, his legacy as a community philanthropist remains.

The original John and Mary E. Kirby Hospital was located in one of the majestic mansions of Monticello and opened for business in 1941. In the early 1970s, a new Kirby Hospital was built on that same location and served the community for over 30 years.

Today, Kirby Medical Center is the new home for healthcare for families in Piatt County. We are proud to carry on a long-​standing tradition of caring in our new healing and truly patient-​centered environment.
