Recommended Training:
- Medical Requirements: All volunteers will work through Employee Health to obtain medical clearance at no charge to you. (Do not send medical information to Volunteer Services) Bethesda North (513) 865-1152 or Good Samaritan (513) 862-2857. We require proof of 2 MMR vaccinations (Measles, Mumps, & Rubella), 2 Varicella immunizations or proof of having had chickenpox, a 2-step TB skin test or a TB blood test (T-SPOT or QFT) within the last 12 months and the annual flu vaccine during flu season. If you have not had recent TB testing, this will be provided at no cost if completed through Employee Health. You can work ahead by obtaining a copy of your immunization records and contacting an Employee Health location to schedule your appointment. If you do not have a copy of your immunizations, this is not a barrier to volunteer. Employee Health will work with you on your clearance by obtaining blood titers to check for immunity. The medical clearance step is not required to attend orientation.
