Emergency Department Callback Program

Due to the high volume of COVID patients in the adult and pediatric ED, we are looking for a small group of volunteers to help with a callback program! This will entail calling patients with positive COVID tests to check on them, giving them information, and answering their questions (there will be a FAQ with answers). We will have a script to follow on the phone and you will be able to call outside of the ED if you are not able to volunteer in person. This will be through a blinded phone number so that it appears like you are calling from the ED.

We are planning to provide a 30-min training, where the process will be explained in more detail and where we can answer any of your questions. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer and we’ll schedule a training session this coming week.
