Volunteers who have any limitations are required to provide a doctor's statement of release, noting any restrictions.

Uniforms - Volunteers must wear the Washington Hospital Service League volunteer uniform and name badge while volunteering.

Orientation - After submitting an application and completing the medical requirements, all accepted volunteers will be invited to a mandatory volunteer orientation in order to learn about the Hospital's mandatory safety program, policies and procedures. These are held as needed.
