New Volunteers

You can find the links to each facility and find more information for each hospital on UPMC's Volunteer Services contact list.

- Criminal background checks for adults (the type dependent on assignment)
- TB testing
- Flu shots (during flu season)
- Give you an orientation test to make sure you understand UPMC's policies on:
- Privacy

Current and Past UPMC Volunteers
If you volunteered at UPMC within the last two years or volunteer now, you don't need to reapply.
If you want to volunteer at a different hospital, contact Volunteer Services at the new location and ask if they need volunteers.
If your new location is accepting volunteers, we can:
- Add your new location to your existing UPMC volunteer profile. This keeps all your recorded volunteer service hours from all locations in one file.
Please be aware that each hospital may have different volunteer requirements. You may need to update your requirements, including:
- Clearances
- Immunizations
- Forms
- Interview with a volunteer coordinator
- Attend a New Volunteer Orientation
