Rochelle Community Hospital is your hometown hospital. We are here to care for you and your family – to provide quality healthcare and compassionate service.
The focus of the RCH Foundation includes providing for the hospital’s greatest needs, securing essential equipment for technology advancements and assisting cancer patients in their healing. The Annual Appeal Campaign gives you three different funds to choose from to contribute to the local community-based wellness services you expect. Your gift does and will make a difference…
The hospital’s mission and vision directs us to improve the health of our community by providing high quality care with competence, excellence and compassion. Donations to this fund will support areas in the hospital in greatest need.
Gifts directed to this fund will aid in the purchase of equipment most needed in different areas and departments of the hospital.
Cancer is costly. People with cancer and their families can be devastated physically, financially and emotionally. The All About Me fund will provide grants and resources to qualified cancer patients at Rochelle Community Hospital so they can better manage their road to recovery.
A Cancer Care Bag: All chemotherapy patients will be provided with a “care bag” containing items to comfort and assist them as they receive cancer treatment. The tote bag will include items such as a water bottle, blanket, lotion, lip balm, nail file, toothbrush, date organizer, nutrition information and more. Funds donated to the Rochelle Community Hospital Foundation for breast cancer awareness will be used to purchase items for the care bags.
Scholarship Program: Even with insurance, cancer is costly. People with cancer and their families can be devastated physically, emotionally, mentally — and financially. The All About Me Cancer Program will provide grants to qualified cancer patients at Rochelle Community Hospital from the Ogle County area so they can better manage their road to recovery. The All About Me Scholarship Program will help to improve patients’ quality of life with valuable local resources and financial support. This scholarship offers a patient in need, a one-time grant up to $500 per year or as funds are available.
