Rochelle Community Hospital Opens Behavioral Health Services Department

ROCHELLE — Rochelle Community Hospital held a ribbon cutting Tuesday for its new Behavioral Health Services department at the RCH Multi Specialty Clinic on North Second Street, where officials highlighted the growing need for local access to counseling, behavioral telehealth evaluations, and medication management. Rochelle Mayor John Bearrows called the expansion an important investment in community well being, and RCH CEO Karen Tracey said the department was developed to meet increasing demand for behavioral health support. The clinic opened in April, operates Tuesday through Friday with some evening hours, and has already seen strong growth.
