Artificial Intelligence (AI)

How We Use AI

The Center for Well-Being uses approved artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve efficiency, support clinical documentation, and enhance access to care.

AI helps us with:

  • Scheduling and administrative workflows
  • Clinical documentation support
  • Secure messaging
  • Improving access to services
  • Operational efficiency

AI supports our staff — it never replaces the professional judgment of licensed health care providers.

Protecting Your Privacy

The AI tools we use:

  • Are built into our electronic health record
  • Do not share your information outside our secure system
  • Comply with state and federal privacy laws
  • Meet health care security standards

Ambient Listening

Some appointments may use ambient listening technology to assist with clinical documentation.

If ambient listening will be used during your visit:

  • We will ask for your consent before it begins.
  • You may decline or withdraw consent at any time.
  • Declining will not affect your access to care.

Responsible AI

We believe technology should improve your experience.

We are committed to using AI:

  • Responsibly
  • Transparently
  • Securely
  • Only when it meaningfully improves efficiency or student access to care

We also recognize that AI has financial and environmental costs. We use these tools thoughtfully and only when they provide a clear benefit to students and the delivery of care.
