MyCHART by Epic

What Is Epic?

Epic is a cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. It is used across a broad range of practices, from community health centers, hospitals, to independent practices and specialties.

Epic has a strong focus on patient engagement and facilitating remote care. Epic EHR features include a robust patient portal called MyChart that will give you access to your health record in an easy-to-use portal. MyChart is available online and as an app for both Android and iOS operating systems.

MyChart: Your New Patient Portal

MyChart, your new patient portal, gives you online access and control of your medical record. Available to all patients 12 and older. Within MyChart* you will have access to:

  • Manage upcoming appointments
  • View prescriptions and request refills
  • Communicate with your doctor
  • Access to labs and test results
  • Track immunizations
  • Pay bills online
  • And more!

 *Participation at all Gardner Health Services Health Centers may vary slightly. At the moment, Gardner Packard Children’s Health Center’s MyChart access is for the parents/guardians of patients 12 years old and younger.
