Without MyChart, I would have been in severe pain and not able to enjoy the trip with my family.

When traveling to the Cayman Islands, I forgot to pack necessary medication for migraines. I was able to find a doctor on the island who agreed to prescribe me my medication after reviewing my MyChart account on my phone. Without MyChart, I would have been in severe pain and not able to enjoy the trip with my family. This story isn't necessarily life changing, but proves the simple yet effective way MyChart is so beneficial.

Without MyChart, I might not have finished my degree.

Without MyChart, I might not have finished my degree. I was frequently very sick at college, and had no way of getting to a doctor because I didn't own a car, and public transit was dismal (I got stranded a few times while trying to pick up prescriptions or seeing a doctor in person). Being able to contact my doctor from home, Dr Reddy, who knows my medical history and believes me, was huge. Dr Reddy and her team of nurses were always wonderful. Their prompt responses and assistance were instrumental in getting me back up on my feet after getting sick.

After being added as a MyChart proxy it was like night and day!

In spring of 2024 my mother-in-law suffered from a bilateral pulmonary embolism, which after a few months lead to a lymphoma diagnosis. She had multiple complications throughout her journey and with my husband and I living seven states away it was challenging to stay up to date on all of her appointments and latest test results. After being added as a MyChart proxy it was like night and day! When she was hospitalized I could reach out to her doctors to cancel upcoming appointments; I was able to easily help her stay on top of her meds (which were numerous and constantly changing); I could view all her after visit summaries for care instructions. One time during an infusion visit I even saw test results as soon as they came in and was able to alert her nurse that her kidneys were failing again and get her started on key interventions much sooner. MyChart gave me the power to be an informed advocate for my mother-in-law, helped coordinate care across her many specialists, and gave me peace of mind when I could not be at her bedside that I would have the latest and greatest information available to me seven states away.
