Sharing Access to MyChart (Proxy)

You can manage your children’s and family members’ healthcare from one account. Shared access can make it easier to:

• Help care for another adult, such as an aging parent.
• Assist a spouse or family member with scheduling appointments or requesting prescription refills.
• Keep track of a child’s health records, diagnoses, care instructions, and messages from the care team.
• Proxy access is available for parents and legal guardians of children under age 18.
