The Arlington Heights Nurses Club has served the Arlington Heights Community since 1938. It offers a Lending Closet, free to residents of Arlington Heights, which provides durable medical equipment such as walkers, canes, wheelchairs, crutches, home health needs and bathing equipment.

Housed in the Arlington Heights Senior Center, 1801 W. Central Road, Arlington Heights, the Lending Closet is open 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays, and from 1-3 p.m. Mondays.

For details, call the Lending Closet at (847) 797-5315 to make reservations to pick up or return equipment due to CDC restrictions. Donations of money are always appreciated to allow the Closet and scholarship to continue.

Scholarship assistance to local nursing students and registered nurses who wish to further their nursing education continues to be a top priority of the club.
