COVID-19 vaccine is a condition of employment for all employees of Church Health, including those who do not have direct patient contact; this policy extends to all contract employees, volunteers and student interns who work within Church Health spaces at Crosstown Concourse. It is the intent of this policy to require any booster shots or subsequent annual vaccinations, as recommended by the CDC, to maintain vaccination status. Proof of vaccination is required absent a documented medical or religious exemption.
Church Health is a faith-based health care organization that seeks to reclaim the Church’s biblical commitment to care for our bodies and our spirits. We provide health care for the working uninsured and promote healthy bodies and spirits for all.
Interns should meet the following requirements:
All Church Health internships are unpaid internships. Academic credit is available for internship positions when the program is available through your education institution. Church Health is glad to provide documentation of a completed internship and to complete the forms needed from your educational institution.
Note to applicants for The Well and Movement: Church Health is a non‐traditional Child Life setting and will not satisfy credit through the Child Life Council.
Each intern reports to a supervisor who oversees day‐to‐day activities and provides guidance. The volunteer coordinator works with the supervisors and interns to ensure the best possible experience for everyone.
It is required that all interns work at least eight hours per week; it is preferred that interns work for 10—12 weeks consecutively. If you are unable to commit to the number of hours per week, you may consider volunteering for Church Health. Please contact our volunteer coordinator for more information.
If you are able to intern for a period of less than 10 weeks, you may indicate that on your application and can still be considered for an internship.
Interested applicants should submit an online application to be considered for available internship positions. Please make sure your application is completely filled out. Applicants are strongly encouraged to provide thoughtful, in‐depth responses to the short‐answer questions.
Due to the high volume of applications, Church Health is unable to respond to individual emails or phone calls. Selected candidates will be contacted by Church Health staff to schedule interviews, either in person or over the phone, six to eight weeks after application deadlines. Decisions are made shortly after interviews.
