Volunteer with Us

Dear Volunteer:

Welcome to North Central Baptist Hospital. We are excited to have you.  Please complete the enclosed forms, front and back and return to Employee Health.  Attach any shot, titer, or blood work records you may have.

The Employee Health Clinic provides all required initial and subsequent shots at no charge to all volunteers as needed.   If shot records are not available, Employee Health will send you for blood work to check your titers.  Titers will show if you are protected against childhood diseases that you may have had or for which you have been vaccinated.   These titers must be positive or you may require further vaccinations. 

All vaccination/titers are not optional but required.    All questions will be answered at the time of the initial visit.    

The information below outlines the schedule for shot administration.  These mandatory tests are administered on predetermined schedule.  Completion of these tests must be documented in order to volunteer anywhere in the hospital. 

• The Flu shot and PPD Skin Test are required during the orientation period and then on a yearly basis.
  • The PPD Skin Test is:
    • An indicator if you are a “carrier” of the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis germ.
    • Is read 48 – 72 hours after administration.You MUST have this read during this time period.
    • During the initial orientation period only a second TB test is administered within 1 – 3 weeks of the first TB test.
• Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) (TDAP) is required during the orientation process and then every 10 years.

If you have documentation of any of these shots/tests being performed within the prescribed time interval, please provide a copy to the Employee Health Clinic.

The Employee Health Clinic is open Monday through Friday.  Please see Clinic calendar for hours.

Thank you,
