RUSHVILLE — Rush Memorial Hospital volunteer, Bill Montgomery and RMH Director of Education, Dawn Peffer are pictured holding a few "germs."

Dawn facilitated a recent volunteer luncheon. Her fun presentation provided important health information, which included correct coughing techniques and suggestions for proper hand washing. Dawn encouraged everyone, including Bill, to stay healthy and keep germs away!
