The Laurel Health Centers wish everyone a safe Memorial Day weekend to connect with friends and family as we remember and honor the service and sacrifice of so many.

All Laurel Health sites will be closed on Monday, May 27 in recognition of the Memorial Day holiday. This includes all Laurel Health Centers, Laurel Dental offices, Laurel Pediatrics, and our Laurel Behavioral Health outpatient office, located within the Laurel Health & Wellness Center in Mansfield, PA.  

Need help over the holiday? Our 24/7 nurse triage team will be available to help address your health questions and review appointments; simply call your LHC office after-hours to be automatically connected or call 1-844-284-6589. If you need immediate medical assistance over the holiday, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

You can also send a message to your provider anytime using our secure patient portal. This patient portal allows you to send messages, request prescription renewals, and review your health information in one convenient place.

Previously, Laurel Health used a patient portal called MyKeyCare that was developed by Geisinger health system. We now use a patient portal developed by UPMC health system. While the portal's name, "MyUPMC," can lead to some confusion, this patient portal is not exclusively designed for use by UPMC facilities or UPMC patients. The MyUPMC patient platform is also used by independent health systems like Laurel Health, who are not part of or affiliated with UPMC.

Many health systems opt to participate in an existing secure patient platform developed by an organization that has a dedicated healthcare technology team. Why? It helps us better manage the technical demands, costs, and required security protocols while assuring our patients have an easy-to-use portal available 24/7. You may sign up for a Laurel Health patient portal account here. 

Laurel Health is always here for you with care you can count on. To reach us over the holidays, call 1-844-284-6589 or visit our contact page to review contact information by office location.
