Our Commitment to Health and Well Being
CHKD Health System is committed to the health and well being of our patients, our families, our visitors and our staff. Nicotine use is a proven health and safety hazard and is inconsistent with our healthcare mission. The use of nicotine products and exposure to second-hand smoke has serious adverse effects. As such, all CHKDHS locations are tobacco free, inside and out.
In keeping with our mission and as a health care leader, we must lead by example in maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all. All offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of a criminal background check, drug screening, and employment background review.
CHKDHS is committed to patient and employee well being and is focused on eliminating preventable health care associated infections and promoting health and wellness for our staff. A few of our initiatives include:
- COVID-19 Vaccination: CHKD Health System joins our local healthcare community providers in requiring all team members are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 18.
- Influenza Vaccination: The annual influenza vaccine is mandated for all CHKDHS employees.
- Hand Hygiene: Employees are required to adhere to the hand hygiene policy and use effective hand hygiene practices at all times.
- Physical Requirements: Employees are required to meet certain physical requirements depending on their position at CHKD. Physical requirements for each job category may be found here.
