Complete Health & Immunization Record Review

All candidates must complete a health and immunization record review in order to volunteer at Lurie Children’s. Volunteers must provide certain health/immunization records to comply with hospital policies and other regulatory requirements. You DO NOT need to have this completed prior to scheduling an interview.

If you do not already have these records on hand, you will be responsible for obtaining them through your own providers and at your own expense.

The health and immunization record review has been known to slow down the time it takes to get started with volunteering. Please take a look at the requirements below, and consider how you will meet them if you decide to volunteer:
