SHARING MY HEALTH INFO
Can I view a family member’s health record in My HEALTH INFO?
Yes! This is called Proxy access and allows a parent (or guardian) to log into their personal My HEALTH INFO account, and then connect to information regarding their family member, who has shared access with them if they are 12 years or older. From within your portal account, you can send an invite to
whomever you want via the Shared Access button under the PROFILE and you can determine what information you want to share with them. Or complete a My HEALTH INFO Proxy Consent Form and return it to the Health Information Management Department to request access to this convenient service.
Can I have access to my minor child’s health record in My HEALTH INFO?
Yes, you may have access to your minor child, birth to 12th birthday. You may print the authorization form from the website (click here) or pick up a form from registration and return it to the Health Information Management Department to request access to this convenient service. For minor children between 12-17, they must create their own portal account and share access with you. (Learn More)
