You can sign up for MyChart using the MyChart Bedside tablet or the website.

  To add a health care proxy, log in to MyChart and search “sharing” from the main menu and select the proxy access sharing option that meets your needs. Once you add a health care proxy, your loved one or caregiver will have the ability to view your health information or communicate with your health care provider.
