I am required to conduct myself in strict conformance with applicable laws, standards, regulations, and Bloom Pediatrics Polices governing confidential information. The purpose of this Confidentiality Agreement is to help me understand my obligations regarding confidential information. Confidential information is protected by Federal and State laws, regulations, including HIPAA, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations standards, and Bloom Pediatrics Policies.

COVID-19 Release of Liability

I attest that I understand and agree to the following: The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Bloom has put in place preventative measures for both on-site and off-site activities to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as the following: Providing therapists, volunteers, students, and other staff with protective masks to be worn while engaging in activities at Bloom Pediatrics; therapists will have masks to don during in-home sessions, decisions regarding wearing the mask will be discussed and agreed upon between therapist and client; therapists, volunteers, students, and other staff will have access to latex gloves; avoiding gatherings of more than 10 people by scheduling clinic sessions at staggered time slots; limiting the number of employees and clients on site at a time; mandating parent curbside drop-off and pick up at clinic; temperature and symptom checks for employees, staff, and children at clinic; frequent, scheduled cleaning and sanitizing of therapy spaces, toys, and equipment throughout the day at clinic; frequent, scheduled handwashing before and after session (on-site and off-site). However, Bloom Pediatrics cannot in any way guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Acceptance of Risk; Release; Indemnification. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) is at risk for exposure or infection by COVID-19 by attending scheduled on-site or off-site activities related to Bloom Pediatrics and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Bloom Pediatrics may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, therapists, volunteers, and other participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren), family members, or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance or participation at Bloom Pediatrics activities and programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby forever release, covenant not to sue, discharge, waive, relinquish, and hold harmless Bloom Pediatrics, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, rights, costs, expenses, and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, and other losses of any kind, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, out of or relating thereto, as a result of my child attending or participating in scheduled services, on-site or off-site, as related to Bloom Pediatrics, including but not limited to those related to the above described personal injuries, death, disease, disability, or any other loss. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Bloom, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Bloom Pediatrics related activity. I further promise not to sue Bloom Pediatrics or any Bloom Pediatrics representative, and agree to indemnify and hold them harmless from any and all damages resulting from my child’s participation in services at Bloom Pediatrics, including sessions held on and off site.
Parking Information

Bloom is not responsible for parking citations due to failure to abide by relevant parking restrictions.
Non-Discrimination Policy
*
I attest that I have read and agree to the following policies and procedures: Bloom strives to maintain an inclusive environment without discriminating on the basis of race, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
