  • FAQWhat is a patient portal?
    A patient portal is a secure online website that gives you convenient 24-hour access to your personal health information and medical records – called an Electronic Health Record or EHR – from anywhere with an Internet connection.

  • FAQWhy is using a patient portal important?
    Accessing your personal medical records through a patient portal can help you be more actively involved in your own health care. Accessing your family member's health information can help you take care of them as well. The patient portals also offer self-service options that can eliminate phone tag with your doctor and sometimes even save a trip to the doctor's office.

  • FAQWhat can I do with a patient portal?
    The features of patient portals may vary, but typically you can securely view and print portions of your medical record, including recent physician visits, discharge summaries, medications, immunizations, allergies, and most lab results anytime and from anywhere you have web access. A patient portal may also allow you to access these features on behalf of your children or other dependent family members.
