Effective June 1, 2007, FHN will be a smoke-free campus. This includes all FHN facilities, parking lots and walkways. |
Volunteers are dedicated individuals who donate their time and talents to supplement and extend the activities of FHN staff. Volunteers are special people who offer a unique kindness to our patients, their families and visitors and FHN staff – their contributions are always appreciated.
As a volunteer, you will enhance FHN services and assist in making their experience at FHN the best possible one for our patients and their families.

For more information, please contact the RSVP office at 815-599-3491.
FHN offers opportunities for volunteering at all locations within FHN including FHN Memorial Hospital and FHN Hospice.
Be an FHN Volunteer
We welcome interested adults and students to join our FHN Volunteer Services Team. FHN offers a variety of service areas for the individual who is looking to volunteer in a professional environment. Duties are varied and involve work areas that both directly and indirectly provide or support patient care.
Why should you volunteer? Volunteering allows you to develop new friendships, reduce stress, explore new careers and improve self-esteem. In addition, student volunteers (minimum age 14) gain confidence in their abilities and increased knowledge as they are exposed to jobs at all levels and skills. This exposure is a critical success factor as they consider future goals and make plans for a career.
FHN volunteers play a major role in our commitment to provide superior quality healthcare services to all our patients in the communities we serve.
FHN volunteers serve in the following areas:

The FHN Hospice Volunteer Coordinator works closely with all team members, especially nurses and social workers to determine how a volunteer and the various services they offer may benefit both the patient and caregivers.
FHN Hospice volunteers serve in the following areas:
The thorough FHN Hospice volunteer training provides information on all aspects of hospice care and hospice volunteering, and will equip volunteers to provide compassionate care and companionship to the terminally ill and their families.
