Centegra Health System has lowered its American flags to half staff at both campuses in Woodstock and McHenry to honor the fallen crew of Rockford Memorial Hospital’s REACT helicopter.

At about 8:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10, the helicopter crashed in a field south of Rochelle in Lee County. There were no survivors. The crew members on the aircraft were pilot Andy Olson; flight nurse Jim Dillow, RN; and flight nurse Karen Hollis, RN.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and the entire staff of Rockford Memorial Hospital. For more information, visit http://www.rhsnet.org/news_view.aspx?Post_ID=213.
