Make a Difference!

Give back to your community by becoming a volunteer with OSF HealthCare. Adult and teen volunteers are needed in a multitude of service areas at OSF HealthCare Saint Elizabeth Medical Center in Ottawa and OSF HealthCare Center for Health – Streator.

Volunteering at the hospital is a great way to stay active, serve your community, and make new friends. In addition, as a volunteer you will receive a free flu shot and have the opportunity to qualify for a complimentary membership at OSF LifeFit in Ottawa or the Streator Family YMCA.

Attention Teens!

Teens currently in eighth grade through senior year in high school who are interested in volunteering in a hospital setting are invited to participate in our TAGS program. Volunteers will be required to complete an application and attend an orientation session. TAGS serve in a variety of settings, including working on patient floors delivering water, food, flowers and teddy bears to patients.

Volunteers must commit to at least 30 hours a year. Hours for volunteering are between 6:30 and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 2:30 to 4 p.m. Saturdays. The hospital is very flexible and good at working around students’ busy schedules.
