Grapevine Health Privacy Policy

EFFECTIVE DAY 6 JUNE 2023

Summary:

  • We understand that people and companies working in healthcare must first and foremost earn the trust of patients, and that trust has too often been broken – especially in underserved communities. But at Grapevine Health, community trust is a founding tenet and core value, and we aim to honor and maintain the community’s trust in letter, spirit, and daily practice.
