LincolnWay Community Bank supports Joliet Area Community Hospice

LincolnWay Community Bank announced a $5,000 donation to the Joliet Area Community Hospice in support of the hospice’s capital campaign.

Joliet Area Community Hospice has delivered compassionate, professional care to terminally ill patients and their families since 1982. It serves patients in greater Will county, including Frankfort, Manhattan, Mokena and New Lenox, as well as Grundy, Kendall, LaSalle, and Livingston counties.

“Over the last 37 years, countless patients and families from across the LincolnWay area have benefitted from the compassionate care delivered by the Joliet Area Community Hospice,” said LincolnWay Community Bank president Mark Stevens. “Our support for this organization is entirely consistent with our belief that LincolnWay Community Bank’s mission is to help make this area a better place to live.”

The current Joliet Area Community Hospice Capital Campaign was established to enhance the patient and family experience at its hospice home in-patient unit at 250 Water Stone Circle, Joliet, by creating a more healing environment for patients and their families.

“Every aspect of our 10-room addition and renovation plans center around the goal of maintaining a dignified and comfortable quality of life by creating as many of the comforts of home as possible,” said Carolyn Dystrup, a member of the Joliet Area Community Hospice Capital Campaign committee. “We are sincerely grateful to LincolnWay Community Bank for stepping up and helping to make our Capital Campaign a success.”
