“Day Kimball has been cautiously and safely resuming select services across our locations for the past several weeks,” said Dr. John Graham, chief medical officer and vice president of quality and medical affairs, Day Kimball Healthcare. “Now is the time for patients to get caught up on their health, and that includes blood-work and laboratory services. We are pleased to be able to safely offer these services again for people who live in or nearby to Plainfield,” he said.

“While patient safety has always been our number one priority, we’ve taken extra safety precautions to provide the safest care possible during this time,” said Graham. “We will continue to screen people upon arrival, ask them a few health questions and check their temperature, and provide them with a mask. Further, we are continuing to limit visitors with a few exceptions, and maintaining with social distancing protocols. Hand sanitizer is readily available throughout all of our sites,” he said.

Other services available at the Day Kimball Healthcare Center in Plainfield have remained open including internal medicine, OB/GYN, and pediatrics.
