Piatt County residents have seen its local medical center grow; in fact, just last year, the group hired over 100 new employees for all the services they continue to roll out.  

Andrew Buffenbarger, Chief Compliance Officer at Kirby Medical Center in Monticello, indicates that between facility updates, the addition of fitness programs, and the hiring of 130 new employees last year, they are doing everything they can to improve their services.

Buffenbarger credits CEO Steve Tenhouse for his steady leadership, as the fiscal mindfulness has allowed them to grow responsibly, while still doing so efficiently. 

One of the major goals for Kirby Medical Center is proactive care. Buffenbarger explains that getting patients to their providers in a timely manner helps them catch issues early and prevent ER visits. In turn, those who need to visit the ER experience shorter wait times.
