Patient & Donor Stories
Meet Danelle Achepohl
Donor
Of Elmhurst, Danelle says, “Many of our grandparents and parents live here. It’s our home. Our children’s home. The quality of our community healthcare touches every generation today and in the future.”
She should know—Danelle’s husband was born and raised in Elmhurst, and his parents and grandparents raised their families here, one grandparent living to nearly 99. The Achepohl children, 14- and 11-year-old daughters and nine-year-old twin sons, continue the tradition.
Danelle hopes to see extraordinary healthcare for many more generations to come. She is excited about the affiliations with Lutheran General for pediatrics and the Rush oncology group.
“We are an outstanding community hospital. To partner with these specialists will bring another level of expertise to the table and make the level of care extraordinary,” Danelle adds.
“The bottom line is, if you’re not healthy, life is very difficult. The quality of life depends on your health. You could have hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank, and it’s worthless if you wake up miserable and in pain,” she says.
our campaign in progress
To raise the funds required for the new facility, it is our goal to raise 27.5 million dollars by fall of 2011.
