Kirby is a well-established brand that has been serving the healthcare needs of families in Piatt County and the surrounding areas since 1941. They offer a wide range of products and services to ensure the well-being of their community. One of the notable initiatives by Kirby is the Healthcare Scholarship Program.

This program aims to encourage students interested in the medical field to pursue their dreams. The scholarship covers up to 100 percent of tuition, housing, and books, and recipients are expected to work at Kirby Medical Center for a determined period after graduation. Students enrolled or applying for programs in nursing, radiologic technology, laboratory sciences, family medicine, physical therapy, paramedic studies, or any other healthcare field are eligible to apply.

The Healthcare Scholarship Program is funded through The Kirby Foundation's Education Fund and income received from farms donated to Kirby Medical Center.
