Otherwise, JC’s Recovery Center will not, otherwise, forward e-mails to independent third parties without your prior written consent, except as authorized or required by law.
You should carefully word your e-mail messages so the information provided clearly, yet briefly, describes the information you intend to convey. You are responsible for correcting any unclear or incorrect information.
JC’s Recovery Center reserves the right to save your e-mail and include your e-mail or information contained within your e-mail in your medical record.
