Healthcare in Kewanee and Surrounding Region
Since 1919, the City of Kewanee has been served by Kewanee Hospital. A dedicated staff of nearly 300 health care professionals provides health care services to residents in a 30 mile radius. Kewanee Hospital is a 501(c) 3 charitable organization, not supported by tax dollars. The state-of-the-art facility constructed in 2008 offers the latest in advanced medical technologies including:
- 25 private patient rooms for Medical-Surgical-Pediatrics Care, Swing Bed Services and Critical Care
- 24-hour Physician Staffed Emergency Department
- Inpatient/Outpatient Surgical Services
- Rehabilitation Services
- Homecare/Hospice Care
- All-Digital Radiology/Diagnostic Department
- Family Health Clinic Multi-Specialty Physician Group
Specialty clinic services include anesthesiology, cardiology, family medicine, general surgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology, radiology, and urology. Kewanee Hospital also offers occupational health and wellness programs for area businesses. Provision of these local services often precludes the need for members of our community members to travel to larger facilities located as far as an hour or more away.
