[Dysphagia] HIPPA

I'm working at a new facility and have just been informed that the  "juice 
cart ladies" (volunteers who walk around the  building  distributing juice and 
cookies) are not allowed to have any information  re: any special dietary 
and/or swallowing restrictions d/t privacy  issues. I volunteer in other arenas 
(hospice, etc.) where pertinent  information is always shared.  Can anyone shed 
any light on  this?  It seems absolutely absurd to me. 
Thanks!
