As we navigate reintroducing volunteers within the hospital setting we’re reviewing our volunteer insurance policy and would appreciate your feedback related to your hospital insurance.
- Does your hospitals workers compensation insurance include coverage for your hospital volunteer program?
- If no, does your volunteer program have a separate insurance policy?
- Does your workers compensation and/or volunteer program insurance include virus coverage, including COVID-19?
- Please share any liability waiver forms for your volunteer program.
Thank you!
