Patient Release for Interns and Volunteers
NHWS is a teaching clinic so on occasion student interns from various colleges may accompany your therapist, observe treatments, and have sight of their notes. A background check through each respective institution is conducted for each student intern. NHWS periodically allows volunteers to assist in the clinic. They may be in the treatment area with you under the supervision of your therapist. Each volunteer has HIPAA privacy instructions. Volunteers are in place to learn, to assist the therapist and to work for the benefit of patient care. Volunteers are not employees of NHWS and cannot assist you with billing, scheduling, medical or insurance information.
