We process and pay for our own background checks through the volunteer office budget.  The HR check is much more in-depth and expensive than our needs.

I have an account with the state Police and can run a court records check in about 48 hours.  We are charged $16 per record as a non-profit.  This also includes a sex offender name check.

Our department budget comes through the hospital budget, but I report to the SVP of Mission, which is a shared health system department.
