Meridian provides students with the opportunity to serve their community. Junior volunteers can work with patients directly, such as assisting caregivers on medical surgical units, delivering flowers, and helping with food services, the gift shop, or pre-admission paperwork. They can also perform duties that do not require patient involvement, like clerical tasks, working at the information desk, and assisting in the pharmacy.
Junior volunteers must:
- Check with the hospital for age regulations
- Fill out an application, which includes a parental consent and student evaluation form
- Complete a health questionnaire and have it signed by a family physician or pediatrician before training
- Make a six-month commitment of approximately 12 hours a month
