Citizens National Bank Completes $250,000 Pledge to Day Kimball Healthcare's Care in a Heartbeat Capital Campaign

Pledge Completed Ahead of Schedule and Project's Anticipated Completion

Citizens National Bank has contributed the final installment of a $250,000 pledge of support for Day Kimball Healthcare’s “Care In a Heartbeat” Capital Campaign. David Conrad, President and CEO of Citizens National Bank, presented a check for $87,500, the remainder of the pledge, to Day Kimball Healthcare leadership and the campaign’s co-chair at the bank’s Putnam branch on Thursday, March 26.

“We at The Citizens National Bank are extremely proud to finish our commitment of $250,000 towards the new emergency department at Day Kimball Hospital early with this check for $87,500,” Conrad said. “This endeavor is extremely important to the area in providing excellent medical care to the communities that both CNB and Day Kimball serve. The Bank is truly honored to be part of this project.”

The Care in a Heartbeat Campaign raised over $3 million to help fund construction of the new Townsend Emergency Medical Center at Day Kimball Hospital. Construction of the new facility has been undertaken in three phases, with the first two phases completed in 2014. 

Already in use are 18 new private patient treatment rooms, including a behavioral health wing, and a state-of-the-art resuscitation room. The final phase, which includes six more new patient treatment rooms and an all-new entrance and waiting area, is set to open in late summer of this year. 

When complete, the new facility will offer double the space of the old emergency department. Other improvements include new, specialized equipment, technology upgrades and more.
