Why can't you add admitdate in distinct . If admitdates are different
they will show
as two entries . I hope this is what you want

SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,
address2, city, state, zip, age, gender,admitdate
FROM gpresults
WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')
and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in
('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))
ORDER BY zip
