If you are familiar with the term MyChart, you may also know that it is the online tool that gives you access to select information in your health record. For Allina Health patients, the way to access your (or a loved one's) health record (MyChart) is through your free Allina Health account.
If you already have a MyChart account with Allina Health, you will need to complete a one-time upgrade to an Allina Health account in order to continue to access your health record online. Upgrade now, it only takes a couple minutes, and we'll walk you through it online.
After the one-time upgrade to an Allina Health account, you can access your health record and that of anyone you have proxy access to, by signing in on allinahealth.org or the Allina Health account mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
