myHealth@SC Patient Portal

We’re proud to unveil a newly-designed myHealth@SC to help you take a more active role in managing your health.

Whether you're looking to keep any eye on your weight or blood pressure, or need to monitor a chronic condition, myHealth@SC is a tool for everyone.

With an improved, user-friendly navigation and nearly 40 enhancements—suggested by you, our patients—myHealth@SC is now even easier to use than before! For example, quick links (“Message” and “Schedule Appt”) at the top of the page enable you to send an email or schedule an appointment from anywhere within the application—without having to leave the page you’re currently on. 

Your health information is posted to a highly secure data repository
