All About Me Cancer vertical grey line horizontal grey line

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.
