Medical Center Volunteer Application Process
When we receive your application, we will send you information about available volunteer opportunities, as well as an invitation to attend a required three-hour orientation. For interested students under the age of 18, a parent meeting is also mandatory.
After you attend orientation, a few standard safety and security procedures will follow. As with any hospital employee, new volunteers must undergo a background check, supply medical records confirming that they have a current measles, mumps, Rubella immunization, and take a tuberculosis test. This 2-step skin test is required by regulatory agencies and is given free of charge to volunteer applicants.
Once this process is complete, our Security Department will take your photograph, issue an identification badge and provide a parking permit.
