Teen MyChart Access Update

MyChart

 

 Changes Effective June 30, 2026

MyChart access for patients ages 13–17 is being updated to better support patient privacy and comply with current access guidelines. To implement these updates, teens who currently have MyChart accounts will need to reactivate their account after June 30, 2026. Parents and guardians may also need to re-establish proxy access under the new guidelines.

We understand this may be an inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to ensure a secure and seamless experience for teens and their families.
