FYI- for those patients and families that were signed up with the patient portal from ECW (previous electronic medical record system) -that portal is no longer active. Our new Electronic Medical Record (EMR) EPIC has a new and improved patient portal called “MY CHART“. Be sure to ask about signing up for MY CHART when you come in for your next appointment. We apologize for any inconvenience.
