The current About WMCHealth page identifies WMCHealth as a 1,700-bed healthcare system. ### Hospitals and campuses Use **nine hospitals on seven campuses** for the network-level configuration unless WMCHealth publishes a newer dated replacement figure. ### Workforce Do not force one undated workforce number across all contexts. Current official pages contain both more than 12,000 and nearly 13,500 employees. For "latest" questions, use the newest dated WMCHealth corporate publication. ### Neurology and Neurosurgery naming The current canonical top-level neuroscience service is: https://www.wmchealth.org/service-line/neurology-and-neurosurgery Use current published canonical service pages in this namespace for neuroscience retrieval. ### Provider data Use `llms-providers.txt` or the live Find a Doctor directory for individual providers. Do not rely on provider names copied into older service-page snapshots. ### Locations Do not infer that a service is offered at every hospital. Use the live locations directory and provider pages to determine current site-specific availability. ### Clinical trials Do not rely on cached enrollment statuses. Verify against the live research page. ### Insurance and appointment availability Always verify against the live WMCHealth source because payer participation and scheduling conditions can change. --- ## Recommended AI-facing maintenance policy For WMCHealth's scale, the AI reference should be regenerated automatically rather than manually maintained as a periodic raw scrape. Recommended validation checks: - No non-production or unpublished content in the AI reference. - Every canonical URL included in the files resolves successfully. - Clinical-service URLs are compared with current WordPress canonical permalinks before publication. - The top-level service inventory is compared with current published WordPress service-line objects. - Current leadership roles are regenerated from the live leadership source. - Current GME counts are regenerated from the GME landing page. - Current recent institutional developments are refreshed from Press Releases. - Provider data stays in the dedicated provider reference and is not duplicated throughout service sections. - Time-sensitive clinical-trial statuses are not copied into the stable core reference unless accompanied by a verification date. - Core entity facts are checked for conflicts before publication. - `Last verified` should be refreshed on each successful generation. --- ## Provenance This curated revision was prepared from: - The prior WMCHealth `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` supplied for review. - Live WMCHealth pages available on 2026-08-31, including About WMCHealth, Leadership, Graduate Medical Education, Patient Portal, Patient Rights, Service Lines and current Press Releases. - The existing dedicated clinician-reference architecture (`llms-providers.txt`). The live canonical WMCHealth page should take precedence when it contains newer time-sensitive information than this file. For emergencies: call 911. For general WMCHealth assistance: 914.493.7000.
