Rush-Copley Volunteer Services

Our volunteers at Rush-Copley Medical Center are very special people who care about the needs of others and want to do something to help. Our volunteers are people who like to be involved and have a common value and belief in service to others. Their dedication provides a significant contribution to the medical center and to the community's healthcare needs

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering offers an opportunity to meet new people and develop friendships, acquire new skills, build self-esteem and work in an environment with flexible hours to fit your schedule.

You can also take advantage of educational offerings and other benefits, such as health screenings, complimentary meals while on duty and reduced rates at our Healthplex Fitness Center. The experience and knowledge you gain here can be used as a job reference; letters of recommendation will be gladly written for you.

For more information or if you are interested in volunteering, please call 630-978-4826 or email diane.moreau@rushcopley.com.
