Schedule an interview

Meet standard health requirements
If you and the St. Luke's staff member feel that volunteering in a hospital setting would be the right fit for you, you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and take an annual tuberculosis test.
Orientation
After all of the above has been completed you will be asked to attend an orientation that will introduce you to volunteering in a hospital.
