Employee Health

Healthy Employees = Healthy Patients

The role of employee health in pre-employment screening:

All new employees are required to have an Employee Health screening prior to their start date. Screening includes Health Evaluation forms as well as immunity screening. Our immunity requirements are based on CDC guidelines and State law. They vary based on your role at Confluence Health.

There are two requirements for initial clearance to start. Submit your Employee Health onboarding paperwork packet and proof of COVID19 vaccination or declination in (name of system?) Do we say something about Flu Vaccination and or declination?

More detailed information will come to your personal email. Please make sure to check your email and thoroughly read the information and instructions.
