Service Auxilian Requirements
While it is a privilege to have so many dedicated individuals volunteering throughout Morris Hospital, we do ask our service Auxilians to meet certain requirements. Each service Auxilian must agree to:
Maintain hospital and patient confidentiality.
Comply with uniform dress code.
Attend an orientation prior to training.
- Comply with educational components as required by regulatory agencies.
- Complete criminal background check successfully.
Volunteens
Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity for teens who want to gain exposure to healthcare careers, those who require completion of community service hours, and those who simply want to serve others. In order to be eligible for volunteer service, teens must have completed their freshman year of high school. In addition to the standard service Auxilian requirements (see above), Volunteens must:
- Check with the hospital for age regulations.
- Fill out an application, which includes parental consent.
