I understand that Under His Wings Respite, the Collins Methodist, and the West Hartland Methodist Church is providing this program as a ministry to the church and community, and that the persons involved in this program are not health care or child care professionals. I do not rely on any claim of expertise, professional training, or other otherwise qualified care in allowing the participant to participate in the program. In the event that I am not immediately available, should the participant suffer a serious or life-threatening injury for which emergency medical treatment may be necessary, I hereby authorize an appropriate adult staff member, designated by Under His Wings Respite, the Collins United Methodist Church and the West Hartland Methodist Church, to engage qualified medical personnel to initiate any necessary medical treatment or care. In the event of such an injury, it is understood that Under His Wings Respite, the Collins United Methodist Church and the West Hartland Methodist Church will use all reasonable efforts to notify me (or the emergency contact listed on the participant’s application), where practical, prior to initiating medical treatment for any such injury to the participant. Should neither party be available, an appropriate staff person will contact appropriate medical personnel to initiate the necessary medical treatment, and I hereby give permission to any such physician or other medical personnel to provide such medical treatment such individual deems medically appropriate. I agree to pay for all care provided as a result of Under His Wings Respite, the Collins United Methodist Church and/or the West Hartland’s Methodist Church’s decision. I understand that I have the right to review this Consent and Release form with counsel, and have had the opportunity to discuss and consult with the counsel prior to signing this form. I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS CONSENT AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND THAT BY SIGNING IT, I INTEND TO BE BOUND LEGALLY AND TO BIND THE PARTICIPANT, OUR RESPECTIVE HEIRS, EXECUTORS, ASSIGNS, AND SUCCESSORS. I give Under His Wings Respite, the Collins Methodist Church and the West Hartland Methodist Church permission to take and post pictures or videos of any individuals on their respective websites, their printed material, and anything else associated with this program. We reserve the right to modify all Under His Wings Respite forms without prior notice. *
