Rochelle Hospital Closes Second Street Entrance Amid Urgent Improvements

URGENT UPDATE: Rochelle Community Hospital has officially closed its Second Street entrance to the Health & Wellness Center as of October 1, 2023. This significant change is part of an ongoing multi-year facilities improvement initiative aimed at enhancing healthcare services in the community.

The hospital’s expansion project, which started in September, includes a major upgrade to the Health & Wellness Building on the south side of the campus. The entrance to the center has been relocated to be adjacent to the emergency exit on Third Street. This critical update was officially completed on September 26, 2023.

With the Second Street entrance now permanently closed, all patients and visitors are required to use the newly designated Third Street entrance to access not only the Health & Wellness Center, but also the Family Healthcare Clinic and Multi-Specialty Clinic. This change aims to streamline access and improve the overall patient experience.

“This renovation reflects RCH’s commitment to reinvesting in services for our community,”

the hospital stated in a recent news release, emphasizing the importance of these updates for local residents.
