Nature and purpose of the website

The website is an online, informational and administrative resource intended to provide general information about behavioral health conditions, services, providers, and related topics. The website may also allow users to request appointments, submit forms, make payments, or access administrative tools.

While WC strives to ensure that information on the website is accurate, current, and useful, WC makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information or functionality available through the website. Information and tools provided through the website may not address your specific circumstances, needs, or conditions.

Information provided through the website is not a substitute for the professional judgment, advice, or services of a licensed physician, therapist, counselor, or other qualified healthcare provider. You agree that you will not delay seeking care or make clinical or treatment decisions based solely on information obtained through the website.

The website does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, provide psychotherapy, counseling, or medical services, or otherwise engage in the practice of medicine, psychotherapy, counseling, or any other licensed profession.

No emergency use

No provider-client relationship

Your use of the website does not create a provider-client, therapist-client, physician-patient, or any other professional relationship between you and WC or any WC-affiliated professional.

Submitting forms, requesting appointments, making payments, or communicating through the website does not guarantee the availability of services and does not establish a therapeutic or clinical relationship.
