  4. Link Disclaimer - Keystone First CHC may occasionally provide links to other entities' web sites for convenience to the visitor in locating health-related information, services, and products. A visitor is advised that when he/she links to other sites, that visitor is leaving Keystone First CHC's site, and these other sites are maintained by organizations over which Keystone First CHC has no control. Accordingly, a link on our web site(s) does not constitute endorsement of the content, viewpoint, policies, products or services provided or advertised on that site.
