- Have satisfactory response from personal references/background check as required
- Attend a mandatory education class (4.5 hours), as well as complete a health evaluation performed by the hospital's employee health nurse
- Meet the physical demands for volunteer positions including having the physical ability, flexibility and endurance to be able to perform all duties of the assigned position, as well as having the capability to stand and walk for a typical 4-hour volunteer shift
- At Jefferson Memorial Hospital, Volunteers also serve as members of the Auxiliary and are asked to contribute $5 in annual dues
