Full Medical Disclaimer

The Wellness, Sleep & Circadian Network (WSCN) is a charitable, not-for-profit organization. WSCN is not a healthcare provider, medical practice, sleep clinic, durable medical equipment supplier, pharmacy, telehealth service, or licensed clinical entity, and does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, sleep studies, or device fitting or titration. WSCN’s programs, including the Peer Mentoring Program and the CPAP Assistance Program, exist to facilitate access to equipment and education in support of WSCN’s charitable mission and do not establish any clinical, professional, or fiduciary relationship with you.

The information provided by WSCN on this website—including all articles, blog posts, videos, comments, and external links and any information WSCN provides through email, telephone, social media, public events, or in connection with any WSCN program (including the Peer Mentoring Program and the CPAP Assistance Program)—is intended solely for general informational and educational purposes. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

Medical information is constantly evolving. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date content, WSCN makes no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information contained on this site.

All information is provided “as is” and may be updated, changed, or removed at any time without notice. Users are encouraged to confirm any information obtained from or through this website with other sources and to review all information regarding any medical condition or treatment with their healthcare provider.

Use of this website does not create a doctor-patient or provider-client relationship between you and WSCN or any of its contributors. Submitting questions, comments, or other communications through this website does not establish a confidential or privileged relationship.

AWAKE Peer Mentor Program. WSCN’s peer mentors are individuals with experience using CPAP therapy. Peer mentors share personal experience and general support only; they are not acting as healthcare providers and are not authorized to give medical advice, recommend therapies, evaluate symptoms, interpret sleep data, or recommend device settings. Participation in the Peer Mentoring Program does not create a clinical or professional relationship and is not a substitute for care from your own qualified healthcare provider.

CPAP Assistance Program. Equipment provided through the CPAP Assistance Program is distributed in support of WSCN’s charitable mission and is provided pursuant to a valid prescription from the recipient’s own healthcare provider. WSCN does not prescribe, titrate, configure, fit, or make clinical decisions about CPAP therapy, and does not perform sleep studies or interpret sleep data. Equipment is new and is provided subject to the terms of the program’s separate participation agreement. Any equipment provided through this program is supplied by a third party and WSCN retains no responsibility for such products. Recipients must maintain an ongoing relationship with a qualified healthcare provider, and should direct clinical, prescription, and device-configuration questions to that provider or to their durable medical equipment supplier.

Manufacturer Recalls and Safety Notices. WSCN does not monitor manufacturer recalls or safety notices on behalf of users or program recipients. Users and recipients are responsible for monitoring the U.S. Food and Drug Administration medical device recall database and manufacturer communications for any device in their possession. Users should be aware that recalls or safety notices for medical devices like CPAP machines may be issued at any time.

You should not share any personal, confidential, or sensitive information through this website, except where required in order for us to provide you with support and services such as our AWAKE Peer Mentoring Program, or CPAP Assistance Program. You can view how we gather and use this information in our Privacy Policy.
