Is it a Hippa violation if a patient becomes an employee of the clinic where she is being treated or volunteers at the clinic??

No.

I don't understand why there is even a concern. What am I missing?

It shouldn't be as long as no one reveals info about her diagnosis and treatment that they shouldn't.

Can you explain more, what is the concern, often employees are treated at the place they work
