    I fully understand and agree to provide my services to JCHC as a volunteer, and in a volunteer capacity, without financial compensation. JCHC employees may volunteer to serve in a volunteer program such as this, so long as their activities do not directly interfere with their job with JCHC.

    I fully understand that JCHC will not pay for medical treatment for injuries that occur within the scope and course of my volunteer activities. I fully understand that as a volunteer, I do not work for JCHC as an employee, therefore, I am not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits and JCHC cannot provide lost wages or permanent disability benefits for the volunteer’s regular employment.

    I fully understand and agree that if I use my personal vehicle while conducting volunteer activities, my personal automobile insurance is my responsibility and primary to any other insurance that may exist. If asked to volunteer in a capacity that involves the use of my personal vehicle, I agree to provide JCHC with proof of valid insurance prior to assuming any duties as a JCHC volunteer.

    I fully understand and agree that if I use any of my personal property while conducting volunteer activities, that JCHC will not provide insurance coverage or be financially responsible should damage or loss occur.
    I fully understand and agree to sign and abide by, the JCHC HIPPA Confidentiality and NonDisclosure Agreement, which relates to Protected Health Information (“PHI”) and HIPPA requirements.
