Close to home! Whether you or your loved one will be staying in the hospital or using our outpatient services, it’s so good to have a medical facility you can trust so close to home. In an emergency, that may make all the difference.
Emergency Services
The Emergency Medicine Team at Mason District Hospital recruits highly trained professionals to provide emergency medical treatment to those who live in our communities. The Emergency Department is open and staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
When someone calls 911, Mason County EMS’s Advanced Life Support Ambulance is dispatched from Havana or Mason City to provide care at the scene and on the way to the hospital. Mason County EMS provides the highest level of pre-hospital care in the State of Illinois.
Our 24-hour hospital Emergency Department is staffed by a physician who specializes in emergency medicine, assisted by a team of Registered Nurses who are certified as Trauma Nurse Specialists. In addition, the staff maintains certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
Call 911 or come to the Emergency Department entrance at the hospital if you have an emergency.

The hospital’s gift shop is operated by volunteers and offers a selection of gifts to express your best wishes for a patient and to make a hospital stay more comfortable. It is open each day but does not have a set schedule. It is located just to the left of the hospital’s main lobby.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation is an exercise, educational, and social program that will help speed your recovery if you have had a recent heart or breathing problem. The program can also help those who are at risk for future problems.
You will use several types of exercise equipment; have your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation monitored; and learn about your illness and how to improve your health. Your treatment will be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or your primary insurance company if you are eligible. You are required to have a doctor’s order.
Call (309) 543-8522 for more information.
Physical and Occupational Therapy
For patients who have had an injury, surgery, illness or disease, the Physical and Occupational Therapy Department’s goal is to restore strength, mobility, balance, endurance and function. Treatment can also reduce pain and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Your doctor will talk with you about your need for therapy and will make an appointment for you. For more information, call (309) 543-8518.
The hospital is proud of the gifted and knowledgeable staff in this department.
