Takes a minute. Your results go only to your care team and the physician who writes the orders for any tests.

Work or personal, whichever one you actually read. Your sign-in link goes here.

So your care team can reach you about your visits. Any format is fine.

Tick both boxes above to continue — we cannot handle your health information until you have accepted the privacy policy and the HIPAA notice.

The same Whole Health Coach all eight weeks. Your first visit is 45 minutes with her.

Who sees your answers

Your OneVillage care team, and the physician who writes the orders for any tests. Nobody else. The Department receives aggregate, de-identified participation reporting only, never an individual result.
