To carry out its mission, it is of critical importance for Esperanza Health Center (EHC) to keep our patients, families, and workforce safe and healthy and to support the health of our global community.

In keeping with this, EHC has mandated all workforce members on-site at any EHC location for any portion of their time be vaccinated for COVID-19.

This also includes contractors and EHC volunteers. This vaccine mandate is in alignment with applicable local, state, and federal mandates.

Potential employees may request exemption consideration for EHC vaccine requirements for valid religious and medical reasons.

Please note that start dates will be delayed until candidates are fully immunized or valid exemption requests are reviewed and approved.
