- Tuberculosis (TB) screening
- Health history screening
Will I receive orientation and training?
Upon acceptance into our volunteer program, you will be provided with a general orientation, service-specific orientation, and training. Our orientation is designed to inspire you as you follow in the footsteps of our many wonderful volunteers.
What is the volunteer work environment like?
We provide volunteers with a supportive and caring environment where they are treated with respect and can thrive in their role.
Many of our volunteers continue with us past their first year because they find the work and environment so personally rewarding, not only from the standpoint of giving back but also from the friendly relationships they develop with patients, staff members, and fellow volunteers. In addition to the personal and social benefits of volunteering, you’ll also receive free meal at our cafeteria or The Market.
Can volunteering lead to a job?
While we don’t have a job placement program, the experience you gain while volunteering will certainly help in your pursuit of employment.
