Volunteer with SMP

Volunteers with the Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Program are working to ensure fewer people in Illinois become victims of health care fraud. With training and support from the Illinois SMP Program and its partners, SMP volunteers provide outreach and education in their communities.

Safety Checklist for Venue Sites
