As a patient-centered clinic, Red Leaf Wellness is committed to providing exceptional care and maintaining the highest standards of professional ethics. In line with this commitment and in accordance with regulatory guidelines, we have specific policies regarding the acceptance of gratuities:
- Regulated Professionals: For regulated healthcare services, including acupuncture and naturopathy, our professionals are prohibited from accepting tips or gratuities. This policy aligns with the ethical guidelines set forth by their respective professional governing bodies.
- Non-Regulated Services: For services provided by non-regulated disciplines, the acceptance of gratuities is left to the discretion of the individual practitioner, within the bounds of professional and ethical conduct.
- Redirection of Inadvertent Tips: In instances where a gratuity is inadvertently offered for a service provided by a regulated professional, we redirect these funds to an appropriate charitable organization or other suitable avenues, in line with our clinic’s values and commitment to community contribution.
