Consent, Release of Liability & Confidentiality Agreement (the “Agreement”)

AHS is providing an opportunity for Grade 9-12 students to observe their parents/legal guardian or AHS employee hosts at work for one day. As the healthcare environment is likely an unfamiliar workplace for students, the parent/legal guardian and AHS employee host (set out above) must ensure that the Student is aware of and complies with AHS policies, directives and practices, especially those that refer to confidentiality and safety.

Please read the following carefully.
1. I would like to participate and host the Student for the “Take Our Kids To Work™” day at AHS.
2. I agree that it is my responsibility to ensure the Student complies with all AHS policies especially those related to confidentiality and safety. I will explain to the Student that AHS has a legal and ethical responsibility to safeguard the privacy of all patients/residents/clients and to protect the confidentiality of their personal information. The Student agrees to abide by the AHS policies and procedures concerning confidentiality and release of information.
3. I understand the Student must keep all personal and health information private and confidential.
4. I will not allow the Student to observe any patient/client or AHS employee without first receiving the patient/client or AHS employee’s prior consent. I understand that I am responsible for the Student while on AHS premises and I accept personal liability for any improper conduct of the Student, including but not limited to any breach of privacy or confidentiality.
5. I understand the benefits and risks involved in the “Take Our Kids to Work” Program (the “Program”).
6. I understand participation in the program is voluntary and I freely accept and fully assume all such risks, and the possibility of personal injury and damage or loss to personal property because of taking part in the Program. In consideration of AHS offering the activity, I agree as follows:
  1. To waive and release all claims that I or the Student have or may have in the future against AHS and its board members, employees, agents, volunteers, and independent contractors (collectively referred to as
    the "Releasees"), as a result of my participation or the Student’s participation in the Program due to any cause including negligence, breach of contract, or any other duty of care but excluding any negligence on the part of AHS or any Releasee
  2. To hold harmless and indemnify the Releasees from any and all liability for any property damage or personal injury to me, the Student or any third party resulting from participation in the Program; and,
  3. That this Agreement is effective and binding upon myself, my minor child named as the Student, and each of our respective heirs, next of kin, representatives and assignees.
7. It is strongly recommended for participants to have the following vaccinations and/or immunizations: Chicken Pox (varicella), Hepatitis B, Influenza, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, Tetanus Diphtheria and Whooping Cough (Pertussis). Proof of other immunization/immunity may be required, subject to unit-specific requirements.
  During your experience you may find yourself in contact with diagnosed and undiagnosed vaccine preventable infections. If you are vaccinated, you are less likely to contract and spread the diseases you encounter.
8. In entering into this Agreement, I am not relying upon any representations or statements made by AHS other than what is set forth in this Agreement. I also understand that I can seek independent legal advice before entering into this Agreement and confirm I have either obtained such legal advice or have voluntarily waived that right.
I have read and understand this Agreement. I agree with the terms of this Agreement and confirm my agreement by signing in the space below. I am aware that by signing this Agreement I am waiving certain legal rights, including the right to sue, which I, my child and our respective heirs, next of kin, representatives and assignees may have against AHS and/or Releasees.
