Thank you for your interest in joining the volunteer team at Loyola Medicine. All volunteers will be placed in non-clinical roles; we are unable to place volunteers in clinical roles.

To ensure the safety of our patients, visitors, colleagues and volunteers, all volunteers must participate in a screening/ onboarding process including an updated health screening and background check. This process will take 4-6 weeks to complete. Due to this lengthy process, volunteers are asked to serve on an ongoing basis of at least six consecutive months; we are unable to accept short-term volunteers.

You will be contacted by the Volunteer Services Department to discuss the next steps. Please do not volunteer at our vaccination clinics until these steps have been completed.
