Patient Portal
Would you like to review test results, message your provider, or renew standing prescriptions online? Access your patient information on the go with our secure, confidential patient portal!
The Laurel Health Centers use a patient portal called "My Chart." This clinical platform is used by many healthcare organizations to provide patients with easy online access to their health information. You can access our patient portal online or by downloading the MyChart app on your smartphone or tablet from your device's official app store.
Our MyChart platform is hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), but despite the URL name (portal.upmc.com), this portal is not exclusively used by UPMC facilities or UPMC patients. Laurel Health also previously used the MyKeyCare portal, which was created and hosted by Geisinger Health System. Laurel Health is not affiliated with or part of UPMC or Geisinger. We simply contract to use this patient portal product, similar to how one pays to use a Microsoft product on their computer without being part of or working for the Microsoft Corporation itself.
Curious why we participate in an existing patient portal platform instead of building our own? Many rural health systems opt to participate in an existing patient portal platform instead of creating their own due to the technical demands, costs, and intense security protocols required for hosting secure patient portals.
We are currently working with EPIC Bridges to rebrand our MyChart portal interface to make it more instantly recognizable as our patient portal, and we will keep you updated throughout the process. If you previously used the MyUPMC patient portal or app, your patient information will automatically transfer when you log into the new MyChart portal. Please use your existing account information to log in; you may be prompted to update your portal password as part of the transition to MyChart.
What is a Patient Portal?
A patient portal allows our patients to access and manage their health information quickly, easily, and safely online. You can send secure messages to your provider team, review prescriptions, view recent tests, schedule appointments, and update your medical or insurance information.
The portal is free and secure; it allows each patient, or a healthcare proxy of their choice, to review their medical history online. Healthcare proxies can be appointed with permission between two adults (e.g., a child taking care of an aging parent) or between a parent/guardian and their child.

Our Patient Portal
Laurel Health recently updated its patient portal to MyChart. The MyChart portal is used by a wide variety of healthcare organizations, including The Cleveland Clinic, University of Rochester, and John Hopkins Medicine. Previously, Laurel Health patients accessed their online patient information through MyKeyCare (a regional patient portal developed by Geisinger health system) and MyUPMC (a regional patient portal developed by UPMC health system).
"MyKeyCare" and "MyUPMC" are simply the names of those patient portal products; Laurel Health is not part of either the UPMC health system or the Geisinger health system. We are an independent organization known collectively as Laurel Health. Our sites include the Laurel Health Centers, Laurel Behavioral Health, Laurel Dental, and the Laurel Health & Wellness Center.
All Laurel Health patients over the age of 18 may sign up for the patient portal here. If you previously used the MyUPMC app, MyChart should automatically port over that information when you log in. You will also have an opportunity to review and update your profile information in your MyChart patient portal.
Who Can Create An Account?
Any Laurel Health Center patient over the age of 18 can sign up for an account. This portal was designed to make it easier for patients to access their personal health information online, including test results, prescriptions, and appointment reminders.
What Are the Benefits of Joining?
Patients who join our patient portal have a host of helpful resources at their fingertips, accessible 24/7. You can securely message your provider, manage appointments, and review health information like test results, after-visit care summaries, and standing orders. To join, sign up for MyChart online or download the app on your smart device.
How Do I Sign Up?
