Steps to Volunteer

Please review the following volunteer requirements.

We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds. To ensure our patients’ well-being and help you have the best possible volunteer experience, Affinity requires that all volunteers:

  • complete an application (and if under 18 also complete the Parent/Guardian Permission form for the appropriate location: Mercy Medical Center or St. Elizabeth Hospital)
  • provide two personal references
  • interview with an Affinity team member to find out areas of interest and possible assignments
  • complete a background check
  • meet with an Affinity nurse for a health check, which includes a TB skin test and an immunization check
  • complete three orientations:
    1. Volunteer Services orientation
    2. Affinity Health System orientation
    3. department-specific training
