Notice of Privacy
Practices.
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Effective date: 3 November 2026
This notice covers the health information European Wellness Institute, LLC (“EWI”, “we”) creates or receives while caring for you, and everyone on our team who handles it.
How we use and share your health information
Treatment. Our clinicians use your information to care for you and may share it with other providers involved in your care, such as a laboratory or your own doctor.
Payment. To bill you and record your payments.
Operations. To run the practice: scheduling, quality review, training and contacting you about your program. Companies that help us (for example, our record, email and billing systems) must sign agreements to protect your information.
Other uses the law allows or requires. When legal conditions are met, we may share information:
- for public health and safety (reporting disease, adverse reactions, suspected abuse or neglect) or to prevent a serious threat to health or safety;
- for health oversight, research with privacy safeguards, or organ donation requests;
- with a coroner, medical examiner or funeral director;
- for workers' compensation, law enforcement or special government functions;
- in response to a court order, subpoena or other legal process;
- when federal or state law requires it, including to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
People involved in your care. Unless you object, we may share relevant information with a family member or friend helping with your care, or for disaster relief. If you cannot tell us your wishes, we will use our professional judgment.
Uses that need your written permission. We will not use or share your information for marketing, sell it, or share psychotherapy notes without your written permission. Any other use not described here also needs it. You may withdraw permission in writing at any time, except for what we have already done in reliance on it.
Where state law gives you more protection than this notice, we follow the stricter rule.
