SSM Health Media Release Form

I understand that:

1. My participation is strictly voluntary. If I do not sign this form, my health care and the payment for my health care will not be affected.
2. I will receive no compensation for my participation.
3. This consent form will expire in 100 years and the materials may be retained indefinitely.
4. I have a right to withdraw my consent at any time by contacting Public Relations & Marketing, until a reasonable time before the materials are used.
5. By signing this form, the personal health care information I relay to an outside source is no longer protected by state and federal privacy laws and may be re-disclosed by that source.
6. I will be given a copy of this form after I sign it.

I understand that, in the instance of outside sources (such as the news media), SSM Health is acting only as the intermediary, making it possible for the aforementioned source(s) to contact me. I agree to hold SSM Health and its members, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all liability arising out of the use and/or release of information, interview, photograph/videotape/film, and subsequent publication or broadcast.
