CUSB Bank Employees and Board of Directors are proud to personally donate $3,865 to the
Chemo Infusion Center at Regional Health Services of Howard County. The bank made a
challenge to the community last Fall to collectively match their $50,000 donation and
the bank’s employees and directors wanted to contribute towards that challenge.
The donation is going to the Rural Chemotherapy Expansion Fund, bringing oncology care
to area residents.
On hand to present the check were (front row, left to right) CUSB Vice President and

The Rural Chemotherapy Expansion Fund was created to support the Coordinated Care
Alliance between RHSHC and oncology specialists at Cancer Treatment Centers of
America® (CTCA), Chicago in Zion, IL. This alliance offers advanced
oncology care to area residents. Patients will receive coordinated care from both RHSHC
and CTCA® providers. In addition, clinical telemedicine services will connect
patients via real-time videoconferencing to CTCA Chicago oncologists for regular visits
close to home. This collaboration marks the first CTCA coordinated cancer care alliance
in the state of Iowa.
Donations are still needed for this fund. Gifts can still be made toward chemotherapy
services at RHSHC by making a cash or check donation made to The RHS Foundation
designated for chemotherapy. Please send gifts to Regional Health Services of Howard
County Foundation, 235 8th Ave W, Cresco, IA 52136. For questions about
donating.
