I, like them, assume certain responsiblities and expect to account for what I do in terms of what is expected of me. I understand that any information that is disclosed to me while assisting Allina Hospice patients is confidential. I interpret "volunteer" to mean that I have agreed to work without compensation of money. If and when I'm accepted as a volunteer worker, I expect to do my work according to the standards set forth in the Volunteer Policies and Procedures.
