Heads up! We're making a switch in the tool we use for client assessments prior to appointments. The new system is called TxProgress.
The big news? Clients will no longer need to create an account and a password! 🙌
✉️They'll simply receive an email with a secure link, verify their info and then submit any assessments assigned by their clinician.
The new system is being implemented this week. If you have an appointment and expect to need to complete an assessment, look for the email from TxProgress!
