Requesting proof of vaccination from Foundation volunteer board members

  • 1.  Requesting proof of vaccination from Foundation volunteer board members

    Does anyone have language or a letter they could share regarding the Foundation Office complying with the CMS Vaccination mandate on all hospitals and asking board members to submit proof? If the Foundation is a separate 501 c 3 with a separate governing board and we are not regulated by Joint Commission, is there a need to require foundation board members who come to the hospital 4 times a year for an hour meeting, to provide proof of vaccination? This seems to be similar to us requiring ALL visitors who come in the hospital to provide proof of vaccination and that is not in the CMS mandate?
