Asante adds housing for RVMC
Asante’s Francis Cheney
Family Place (FCP) is grow-
ing to meet the needs of pa-
tients and their families with
three additional rooms, bring-
ing the total to 15.
“Asante realizes the im-
portance of keeping patients
and their families together,”
said Sharon Young, program
manager. “The FCP expansion
shows our commitment to
helping entire families in
medical emergencies.”
FCP is located across
from Rogue Valley Medical
Center (RVMC) campus. It’s
a haven for as many as 600
families that travel here each
year to be near a loved one.
There is a small fee.
FCP offers families an
affordable place to stay within
walking distance of RVMC. It
provides a clean, quiet envi-
ronment of out-of-town cancer
patients who want to remain
in Medford for the duration of
their radiation treatment.
“We take in hundreds of
people each year, yet we still
have to turn down requests for
housing on a daily basis,”
Young said. “The addition of
three rooms will allow us to
open the doors for up to nine
more patients or family mem-
bers before the house is full
again.”
Since the FCP opened in
1994, the occupancy rate has
averaged at least 90 percent
on any given day.

Corrections
*A “Police Blotter” item
in the Sept. 18 issue contained
an error. The item read that
Leif T. Devin Carrier, 15, was
cited on charges including
distribution and possession of
a controlled substance I.
It has since been deter-
mined that Carrier was not
cited on the controlled sub-
stance charges. Rather, they
have been referred for review
to the Josephine County Juve-
nile Dept. “Illinois Valley
News” regrets the error.
*In addition, there was a
misspelled word in last week’s
“Blotter.” The correct spelling
of the word noted is
“camouflage.” So much for
spell-checking ...
