Day Kimball Hospital (DKH) is reducing the number of publicly accessible hospital entrance points to provide a more safe and secure environment.

Day Kimball Healthcare remains vigilant in providing the highest level of preparedness, safety, and security possible. Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, the Visitor’s Entrance at Day Kimball Hospital (Entrance D at the front of the hospital) will be accessible only to DKH employees with badges.

“The safety of everyone who walks through our doors each day is a top priority for our organization,” said Joseph Adiletta, Interim President, Day Kimball Healthcare. “This change will keep Day Kimball in line with best practices for safety and security standards and will enhance other security measures already in place.”

Patients and visitors who typically enter through the Visitor’s Entrance will continue to use the Main Entrance (Entrance A at the back of the hospital) or the Emergency Department (Entrance E at the back of the hospital) to access the hospital.

“DKH is continually focused on improving the safety and security of our facilities, making them easy to navigate and offering patients a comforting and healing experience. We appreciate our community’s cooperation as we continually evaluate our security protocols to provide the safest environment possible for our patients and visitors,” said Adiletta.
