HUGE thank you to the Rochelle Community Hospital for their generous donation towards our new mini mobile donation bus! 🚌 ❣️

Last week, the RCH Administrative Team presented a check for $5,000 John Mecklenburg, RRVBC Donor Relations to support the Rock River Valley Blood Bank with their most recent goal of purchasing a “mini-mobile” bus. This bus will allow the RRVBC to do smaller and more frequent donation drives to make things more efficient for their staff and increase blood donations.

L to R -- Lori Gutierrez - RCH CFO, John Mecklenburg - RRVBC, Karen Tracy - RCH CEO, Kyle Auman - RCH CAO and Chris Swartout - RCH COO

Thank you to everyone who attended our Donor Recognition Breakfast last week! 🍳🥞 We had a great time hearing stories from transfusion recipients and presenting awards to our financial and in-kind donors.

We could not do what we do without the incredible support we get from our community.

Straight from our hearts, thank you very much. ❣️
