Release of Medical Records
Saint Alphonsus encourages patient involvement in their health care by obtaining access to their personal health information. By viewing or accessing your records, you can be better informed about the treatment you receive and become an advocate for your own healthcare.
Saint Alphonsus uses a state-of-the-art electronic medical record system. Staying connected to your health has never been easier with convenient access to your records through our web-based patient portal, MyChart. It is secure and available 24/7 from your phone, tablet, or computer.
