With MyChart, patients can:

  • Easily view their health summary, medications and most test results.

  • Seamlessly schedule, request or cancel appointments, including blood or lab services.

  • Access their comprehensive medical record.

  • View statements and conveniently pay bills.

  • Receive important health reminders for proactive care.

  • Request prescription refills effortlessly.

  • Communicate securely with their physician’s office via messages.

  • Manage the healthcare of their loved one, ensuring their well-being, too.

One of the key advantages of MyChart is its widespread adoption by health systems across the country that utilize Epic. This interconnectedness ensures that even when traveling, patients’ medical records remain accessible to hospitals and health systems that also employ Epic. This capability allows individuals to access their medical records conveniently through MyChart.

If you don’t already use MyChart and would like to, getting started is simple. Visit www.LeeHealth.org and click on the “MyChart” button on the top right-side of the homepage, then click “Sign up now.” If you have an activation code provided by your Lee Health physician, enter the code and follow the prompts.
