Wellness Trail Opens

---

Take a stroll down the path to wellness at Kirby.

Kirby Medical Center’s Wellness Trail is a one-mile long, 10-foot wide paved path open to everyone in the community. The trail expands on Kirby’s wellness programs and encourages healthy lifestyles by offering opportunities to walk, run or bike. Four “Reflection Points” are located along the trail with benches for resting or relaxing. A bridge at the corner of the Forest Preserve Park tree line connects the trail to the Healing Garden and Apple a Day Café.
The first phase of the Wellness Trail opened to the public in September 2015, with the long-term goal of creating a network of trails throughout Kirby Medical Center’s campus. The trail is an embodiment of the collaborative effort between Kirby and the community and serves Kirby’s mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care close to home.
Built upon the philanthropic leadership of the Kirby family, the Wellness Trail is funded by private, tax-deductible gifts. Contributions of all sizes support the maintenance of the trail and construction of new trails. Sponsors have the option to donate in memory or in honor of a loved one with an engraved bench, plaque or brick. Know that your generosity ensures that future generations of Piatt County residents will have the opportunity to utilize the Wellness Trail. Every gift makes a difference!
