Hesed/ORIGINS Medical Reference Form
  • Note: Medical Reference Forms will not be accepted if completed by a walk-in clinic (e.g., CVS MinuteClinic).

    Your careful attention to this Medical Reference Form is vital. Your patient has applied to participate in a rigorous volunteer work program in Israel. Your medical evaluation of the applicant's physical condition and mental stability is essential in determining the applicant's suitability for the project. The applicant will be working in a large hospital and the Israeli medical system requires accurate information for the wellbeing of both the volunteer and hospital patients. This medical data will also enable medical professionals in Israel to appropriately address any medical emergencies that your patient may face during the project. If you have questions as to the medical or psychological suitability of your patient for such a project, it would be a great disservice to the patient, the volunteer group, and the hospital to approve them.
