NOTE TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS: The VA medical center is a federal building, and, as such, must be
open to the public. Our employees, patients and volunteers come from diverse backgrounds. Eligible
veterans are entitled to services offered by VA, even if they have had problematic incidents in their past -
unless the law specifically disqualifies them. Our job is to provide veterans care and to protect our
employees, patients and volunteers as that care is provided.
STUDENT VOLUNTEER: If accepted, I agree to adhere to the policies and procedures of this VA healthcare
facility and to respect the confidentiality of information pertaining to the patients and their
treatment. If a patient, staff member, volunteer, and/or visitor is abusive, makes inappropriate gestures,
advances or conversation, that is in a manner which makes me feel uncomfortable, I will immediately inform
my supervisor or a VAVS staff member.
