Major Activities

Activity 2

Kewanee Hospital staffs a multi-disciplinary outpatient Family Health Clinic (FHC) with a compliment of both physician and mid-level providers employed by the Hospital. The FHC provides an array of services including primary care (adults and pediatrics) and surgical services. The FHC is a licensed Rural Health Clinic and provides many needed services to the community. The FHC is one of the only clinics in the area to accept the treatment and care of children with Attention Deficit Disorder. The providers in the FHC have participated in several outreach efforts including diabetic health, smoking cessation, medication management, and health and nutrition. In FY 2010 the FHC providers brought their services to the area high school to provide free sports physicals. Because of the high poverty level in the Kewanee district, many students have difficulty traveling to provider offices for their physicals and most cannot pay the cost. Kewanee Hospital made the decision to outreach to these students in order to ensure they can take part in sport activities and receive their needed physical exam. The FHC practices the medical home model through the Illinois Health Connect program. The nurse practitioners provide after-hours call in order to ensure patients have the ability to access a provider after-hours and on weekends when needed. The FHC Practitioners continually collaborate with the area schools and providers of other health services in order to provide the best care possible to the area community.
