It's a good idea to keep copies of your medical records. You'll need them if you change doctors, move, get sick when you're away from home, or end up in an emergency room. If any of these things happen and you have your records, you may get treatment more quickly, and it will be safer. You can access portions of your medical record via My Patient Connect, our patient portal. If you're enrolled in My Patient Connect, log in to view what's available. If you're not yet enrolled, now is an excellent time to do so!
