How do I sign up?
Patients who wish to participate will be issued a MyChart activation code during their clinic visit. This code will enable you to log in and create your own username and password. If you were not issued an activation code, please ask a representative at your clinic at your next office visit. Patients under the age of 18 must have parent or legal guardian to complete the proxy process. An individual must be age 18 or older to request a personal account. Minor children between the ages of 0 and 17 (inclusive) will not be eligible to participate in MyChart services.

If some of my health information on MyChart is not correct, what should I do?
Your MyChart information comes directly from your electronic medical record at your doctor’s office. Please discuss with your provider at your next visit. Your health information is reviewed and updated in your electronic medical record each visit.

If I send a message to my doctor or nurse, when can I expect a reply?
You should receive an answer from your provider/clinical staff within 1-2 business days. Please note that MyChart should not be used for urgent situations. Please phone your provider’s office if the situation requires immediate attention or dial 911 if it is an emergency.

Can I view a family member's health record in MyChart?
In some circ*mstances, this may be possible. This is called Proxy access and allows a parent (or guardian) to log into their personal MyChart account, and then connect to information regarding their family member. If you are seeking proxy access for a patient below the age of 18, follow the links below. If you are seeking proxy access for someone age 18 or above, visit the MyChart website.

We take great care to ensure your health information is kept private and secure. Access to information is controlled through secure activation codes, personal usernames, and passwords. Each person controls their password, and the account cannot be accessed without that password. Please keep it secure. MyChart uses the latest 128-bit SSL encryption technology with no caching to automatically encrypt your session with MyChart. Unlike conventional e-mail, all MyChart messaging is done while you are securely logged on to our website.
