Educational purpose
Gilly's Healthcare explains how hospitals and healthcare work so patients and families can take part in their care. Everything on this site — lessons, videos, knowledge checks, examples, and Ask Gilly — is for general education and information only.
Not medical advice
Nothing on this site is a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Using the site does not create a nurse–patient or any other care relationship. Always ask your own healthcare professional about your health. In an emergency, call 911 right away. See our Medical Disclaimer.
Who owns the content
The text, videos, Gilly character, images, design, and the names Gilly's Healthcare™ and "Healthcare Simply Explained" belong to Gilly's Healthcare unless stated otherwise. You may read, print, and share links to pages for personal, non-commercial use. Please don't copy, republish, sell, or change our content without written permission.
Using the site appropriately
Please use the site lawfully and respectfully. Don't try to disrupt it, break its security, flood the contact form, or send other people's private health information through it.
Limits of liability
We work hard to keep lessons accurate and current, but healthcare changes and every situation is different. The site is provided "as is," without guarantees of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, Gilly's Healthcare is not responsible for any loss or harm that results from relying on information here instead of your healthcare team.
Links, embedded videos, and advertising
Some pages link to other websites or play videos embedded from services such as YouTube. Those services follow their own terms and privacy policies, and we don't control their content. The site may show advertising in the future, including ads served by Google. Ads are not endorsements, and they never shape our educational content.
Cookies and privacy
How we handle information and cookies is explained in our Privacy Policy. You can change your choices anytime with Cookie Settings at the bottom of every page.
