The TB clearance is necessary before you begin volunteering.  Details will be given to you at the Group Interview.  The hospital requires a 2-step TB test - which may mean up to 4 visits to the Employee Health Services Department, or, in skin test-positive persons, a written report of chest x-ray results taken within the last 12 months.

You will need to purchase a uniform through the Volunteer Services Department.  Prices range from $13-$20.  You will also need to provide your own tan cotton slacks. Jeans, shorts, capris, and open-toed shoes are NOT permitted.
