Our screening team is instrumental in making sure everyone has a safe visit for their appointment, for patients and staff alike. Everyone on the screening team is provided the appropriate PPE, including face shields/goggles, surgical masks, and gloves. In addition, the majority of temperatures taken are using an infrared, no-contact thermometer. Everyone is also provided position specific training before they start.
Our screening team provides the following services:
· Takes temperatures using an infrared thermometer
· Asks the provided COVID-19 screening questions
· Acts as a “masking expert” ensuring that all visitors are wearing the appropriate face coverings correctly
· Greets our visitors and helps them find their way
All volunteer positions require at least a six month commitment and 50 service hours per year. We are open Monday through Friday, with shifts for the Screener position available from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. All volunteers 18 and older must consent to a background check and medical screening, complete mandatory training, and agree to receive a flu vaccine every year.
This is great experience for anyone interested in the healthcare or medical field. Feel free to forward this information to anyone deemed appropriate. Should anyone be interested, they may contact me at JaxVolunteers@nemours.org.
