ROCHELLE — The hardworking people of this community are the true owners of Rochelle Community Hospital.
Philanthropy is an important part of Rochelle Community Hospital’s past, present, and future. Former loyal Rochelle residents understood the importance of generosity to ensure quality and affordable healthcare and fought hard to retain the hospital and because of this, the Rochelle Community Hospital Foundation is fortunate to have a strong history of community support and hopes to inspire new loyal supporters to continue that same spirit of giving.
The Rochelle Community Hospital Foundation plays a vital role in sustaining the hospital’s dedication to excellence through its generous charitable gifts and strong community ties.
“We have been very lucky to have a great foundation board made up of local people wanting to make a difference in the community where they live,” stated Michelle LaPage, RCH Community and Organizational Development Manager. “The mission of the foundation is to develop and grow financial resources to support Rochelle Community Hospital in providing excellence in healthcare for our community.”
Rochelle Community Hospital Foundation provides meaningful support for community health resources, patient care, and medical facility improvements.
“Having previously worked in healthcare for over 40 years I have seen what a difference 30 minutes can make in the treatment of a seriously ill/injured patient. If there was no RCH our community members would have to be transported to another facility to receive emergency care,” RCH Foundation Secretary Debbie Kersten said. “Our community deserves quality care in our home town.”
