MyChart for Family
QUESTION: How do I get access to a family member’s health care information in MyChart?
ANSWER: Family Access, also known as proxy, allows a person to access data in another person’s medical record. This may be a child, spouse, parent, or other person for whom you are caring. The “subject” is the person whose chart is being accessed. The “delegate” is the person requesting access to the chart. The subject must give permission for the delegate to be granted Family “Proxy” Access. No one should ever access another person’s MyChart account unless it has been linked to their own through Family “Proxy” Access.
QUESTION: How long will my child or children’s medical records be accessible to me?

QUESTION: Can I schedule an appointment for someone other than myself?
ANSWER: Yes, patients and proxies can schedule all primary and specialty care appointments (e.g., Adult Medicine, Dental, Gender Care, Infectious Disease, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Senior Care and Vision) for all services (e.g., annual physical exams/well visits, new problems, sick visits and follow-ups) through MyChart.
