Our groundbreaking new hospital is more than just steel and concrete; it proves our commitment to advancing healthcare for our community. The state-of-the-art facility addresses past gaps in services and expands healthcare offerings to create a lasting impact on the region's healthcare landscape.
Planning for the new facility took several years, but on May 11, 2022, we broke ground on the new 61,000-square-foot facility. Despite challenging weather and unprecedented supply chain issues, construction was completed in January 2024.
On February 19, 2024, Kimball Health Services opened all services in the new facility. A community Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony followed on February 26, 2024.
Kimball Health Services new facility features:
The Kimball Hospital Foundation is conducting the "Advancing Healthcare for Our Communities" capital campaign supporting the new hospital project. With an eye to the future, Kimball Health Services recognizes the generosity of donors through signature naming opportunities on various rooms and spaces in our new facility.
Naming opportunities in a hospital room, for example, is a special way to create a legacy for yourself, honor a loved one, or build awareness for your company or organization's community support.
Signature naming opportunities through the Kimball Hospital Foundation create a lasting reminder of a donor's commitment to our new hospital and will be appreciated by the Kimball community for many years to come.
For more information or to donate, please contact the Kimball Hospital Foundation at (308) 235-1967 or email foundation@kimballhealth.org.
Contributions to the Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit public charity, are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
The project was funded through a USDA loan, county revenue bonds, and private donations through the "Advancing Healthcare for Our Communities" capital campaign.
The project cost was just over $43 million.
Medicare reimburses critical access hospitals like Kimball Health Services for costs incurred for both inpatient and outpatient services, including allowable costs, such as depreciation and interest related to building projects.
This means Medicare can be expected to reimburse Kimball Health Services for more than 50% of the project cost.
With this project, there is limited risk to taxpayers.
Kimball Health Services does not receive county funds and has not received funds for over 20 years. The hospital and clinic are supported solely by the revenue generated from our operation. This project expects that any bonds sold for financing will be paid back using hospital-generated revenues.
