Pre-Volunteer Physical and Health Assessment
The New York State Department of Health requires that all new volunteers be evaluated by a physical exam prior to placement. Our Employee Health Department will provide these physical exams, any necessary vaccinations, and a TB skin test free of charge to volunteers. A second TB skin test must be completed and read at Employee Health one week after the first test.
