Online Donations to DeKalb County Hospice
The mission of DeKalb County Hospice is to assist people to live with dignity and hope in ways that best meet their needs while coping with end of life issues. Hospice also supports grieving family and community members. Donations are an important source of revenue for bereavement services as well as care when clients are uninsured or when the cost of care exceeds the payment from insurance.

Nursing Development Fund
Initiated in 2003, the fund was created to provide funding to help underwrite the registration expenses for staff nurses for regional educational conferences, or for application fees for advanced certification programs in specialized clinical fields. Clinical Department annual budgets cannot cover these expenses.
Gifts to the Nursing Development Fund can be directed by the donor to the appropriate Kishwaukee Health System entity.
