Want to join our team of volunteers? Please call or e-mail Barbara Fradkin, Manager of Volunteer Services, at 314-251-6180 to schedule a volunteer placement interview.

Barbara will meet with you to explore your interests and your personal goals regarding volunteering at St. John's Mercy Medical Center.

Together, you and Barbara will discuss the various volunteer opportunities we have and ways that your interests and goals can be met.

You will be asked to complete an application form. After you are accepted as a volunteer, you will be asked to:

• Complete a brief form of your health and inoculation history
• Obtain a tuberculosis skin test (available at no charge at St. John's Mercy)
• Attend a mandatory volunteer orientation.

Prior to beginning volunteer service, every volunteer is required to attend an orientation to become familiar with St. John's Mercy Medical Center and the volunteer program. Orientation lasts approximately three hours. Topics include:

• An overview of our Mission and Mercy Values
• An introduction to the Medical Center
• Volunteer responsibilities
• Training and supervision
• Dress codes
• Hospital policies
• Emergencies
• Professional ethics
• Volunteer benefits, awards and services.

A high premium is placed on volunteer service at St. John's Mercy Medical Center. We take pride in the fact that we are selective in making volunteer placement decisions. Our volunteers are held to high standards of performance. So we only accept the best applicants!

We welcome you to apply. We are always looking for more great volunteers. Please give us a call at 314-251-6180 or e-mail so that we can begin working together!
