Patients use main door (west) & visitor access restricted

Kimball Health Services continues to take measures to keep our patients and staff safe. With concerns over COVID-19 we have updated our visitation policies. Patients are limited to having one designated visitor for the full length of their stay at the hospital.  Guidelines for visitors include:

• Wearing a mask at all times while in the Kimball Health Services building. 
• Visitors must be over the age of 18 years
• No pets/animals will be allowed.
• Visitation will be limited to one of the following time periods each day 9am-11am, 2pm-4pm, 7pm-9pm.
• Visitors will be asked to self-quarantine when they are not at the hospital and to follow current CDC and Public Health directives (including restricting travel, avoiding groups larger than 10 people).
• If the patient is receiving outpatient services, it is expected that their visitor will arrive and leave with the patient, and stay in the treatment area while in the building.
• Visitors will be screened on entry to Kimball Health Services.  

Visitors will be asked to sign an agreement to wear a mask when possible, wash their hands frequently, monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and follow other safety guidelines when outside of the hospital.

We also ask that all patients enter the hospital and clinic through the main door on the west side of the building.  All other entrances are locked and visitors are not allowed at this time.  If you need to go to the emergency room - you may ring the bell at the ER door for admission.   Our North Campus location is also restricting access to visitors at this time.  If you need assistance with your bills, please call the Patient Accounting Office at 308-235-1990.  For assistance with medical records, please call Medical Records department at 308-235-1968.   Thank you for your cooperation.
