Does this violate hipaa?

Published

I want to apply to a certain hospital that two people in my family went to before they passed away. I spent a lot of time at this hospital while my family members were being cared for there and really admired all of their staff. If I mention this at an interview, would this violate hipaa?

Thank you.
