Frequently Asked Questions About the MYHEALTH Patient Portal

How can the MYHEALTH Patient Portal benefit me?
MYHEALTH Patient Portal allows health providers - such as the doctors who care for you to share health information with each other, electronically, and in a secure and timely manner. If you see multiple doctors who participate, they can access a more complete picture of your health and, in turn, make more informed treatment decisions. The overall goal is for you to receive coordinated care more efficiently, by providing participating care providers your health information where and when they need it, without delay.
Who is eligible?
Any patient receiving care from one of the participating hospitals or affiliated practices whose patients elect to participate in the MYHEALTH Patient Portal are eligible.
