Kewanee Hospital has been serving our community since 1919. Our small, rural hospital has a core mission of "Improving the Health Care of Those We Serve."   Located in west central Illinois, we have a long history of "friends and neighbors taking care of friends and neighbors." 

- 24-Hour Physician-Staffed Emergency Department        - Family Birthing Center

- Adult & Pediatric Medical Surgical Care                        - Critical Care Unit

- Inpatient/Outpatient Surgical Services                        - Rehabilitation Services

- Homecare & Hospice                                                - Diagnostic Services

- Family Health Clinic Multi-Specialty Physician Group

Specialty Clinic services include: Anesthesiology, cardiology, family medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, internal medicine, ophthalmology, radiology, and urology. Provision of these local services often precludes the need for our community members to travel to larger facilities located as far as an hour or more away.

In planning for the future of our Hospital, we are also planning for the health care future of Kewanee and surrounding towns and rural areas. Our guiding principles are:

1. Stewardship of a precious community asset through responsible decision-making to ensure future viability and continued service to our community.
2. Leading the Hospital into the future by establishing goals, plans and objectives that transcend time, individuals, patients, trustees, medical staff members, and administrations.
3. Securing the Hospital's future by doing the right thing and by consistently demonstrating fairness, honesty, integrity, bravery and foresight.
4. Devotion to a fundamental belief in providing service that exceeds expectations with unparalleled caring and compassion.
5. Recognition that providing care to the community is an evolution and that maintaining the highest standards of patient care delivery is a never-ending process that involves the patient, family, nurse, and all healthcare providers.
6. Embracing the future of our community and the role we play in keeping our friends and neighbors healthy and strong.
7. Viewing learning as a continuous process that is essential to the growth and development of clinicians striving to deliver quality patient care.
8. Assuring a culture of teamwork by promoting both individual and collective accountability.
9. Leading collaboration within our community to support the effective use of all resources.
