Hospital Volunteer Opportunities

HOSPITAL VOLUNTEER POSITIONS

volunteer positions. Various inoculations and immunizations are needed for volunteering

(MMR shot, TB shot, tetanus shot, etc.) Toxi

cology tests (drug tests) may also be required of

you. Contact the hospital volunteer services department directly to initiate the application

process.
