Kimble Hospital
Kimble Hospital, located in Junction, Texas, is a trusted healthcare institution with a history spanning over six decades. Federally designated as a Critical Access Hospital since 2000, Kimble Hospital offers 15 acute care beds, some of which can be used as "swing beds" for Medicare patients who require extended care after acute treatment. This flexibility allows the hospital to cater to a wide range of inpatients, including those with acute and chronic medical conditions. Kimble Hospital also specializes in end-of-life care, providing comfortable and compassionate surroundings for patients and their families during challenging times. In recognition of its outstanding performance and commitment to quality, Kimble Hospital has received prestigious awards and accolades from the National Rural Health Association and the TMF Gold Award for Hospital Quality Improvement.
The hospital's Level IV Trauma Center Emergency Department plays a critical role in providing immediate care to injured or unwell individuals in the area, including travelers on I-10. To enhance the quality of care, Kimble Hospital utilizes telemedicine services to connect patients with virtual specialists, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. In addition to emergency care, the hospital offers a wide range of healthcare services, including diagnostic procedures, physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, and laboratory testing. The Junction Medical Clinic, a federally designated Rural Health Clinic, is seamlessly connected to the hospital, providing outpatient, inpatient, and emergency care services. This connectivity improves access to healthcare services for the senior residents of Kimble County, who may face mobility and transportation challenges but benefit from the availability of timely emergency care and routine medical services provided by the hospital and clinic.
