Umm it is "wilcare" in fact..
One of my friends told me that some people call it wilshire... it's a hospital's name somewhere.

WILCARE (Wilshire Cardiovascular and Endocrine Center of Excellence)
I guess it's nothing about pronouncing it as wilshire.. it's just another name?

Wilshire is this name of the town so perhaps this is what they're referring to when they pronounce it this way. It definitely looks like "will care" though in my opinion.
