Roxane Rice
Candidate for County Board D
My name is Roxane Rice, and I am running for Stephenson County Board - District D.
I was born and raised in Pearl City, and I am a third generation Stephenson County resident. I graduated from PC High School, Highland Community College with an Associates Degree of Science in Nursing, and Rockford University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management.
During my 25 years working as a Registered Nurse, I served not only as a caregiver, but also as a patient advocate on a daily basis. I felt the need to help patients and family members navigate the healthcare experience, access services, and be active participants in their own healthcare.
I view the role of a County Board Member in the same way: Listen, Advocate, and Work to deliver for my neighbors.
