Along with our National Rural Health Day celebrations, RCH asked its employees to share how they would describe what "Rural Health Care" is to someone that has no experience or wouldn't understand the difference.

A winner will be named by the RCH Wellness Team after our next meeting, but in the meantime, we wanted to share the answers given by some of our staff. We are appreciative to everyone that took the time and thought toward painting the picture of Rural Health Care!

Everyone loves shiny new things, and we'd like to share ours! Every time we turn our heads, we look back to find more progress and additions to our expansion project.

Schmeling Construction continues to work diligently on the expansion in order to get the structure enclosed by the end of the month so that they may continue to work in the interior through the winter.

Just one example of what Rural Healthcare means to RCH! Caring for and supporting our community. Proud to drop off our $1,544.00 check to the 2 Ton Thanksgiving food drive donated by our staff and matching dollars from the hospital.

RCH celebrated NRHD by highlighting the best part of rural healthcare... our employees! Our Wellness Team brought apples, oranges, and Lifesavers around to each department to offer a sweet treat in exchange for some fun photos. Enjoy!

Today is our day! RCH would like to wish our rural families, friends, and communities a Happy National Rural Health Day.

Today we celebrate the power of rural healthcare and honor all of those that dedicate themselves to making exceptional care in smaller communities possible.

Thanks to Rebecca for a great day of strategic planning for the RCH Foundation! We have many new ideas to implement to further our support of community healthcare.

We had a good time facilitating a fantastic strategic planning session today for the Rochelle Community Hospital Foundation, contracted through Rockford University Northern Illinois Center For Nonprofit Excellence.

One big takeaway: the members of Rochelle and those working at the hospital are incredibly passionate about their community. They’re eager to showcase that passion, collaborate with partners, and continue evolving their hospital as a true community cornerstone.

We’re so proud to see what they’ll accomplish in the next 3–5 years. Thanks for having us!
