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.

You may hear us refer to your Allina Health account as your interactive health record. This is because it allows you to view portions of your health record online, plus allows you to engage and interact with your well-being through appointment scheduling, email messaging, online visits and so much more.
The interactive health record contains select medical information from a patient's health record, it does not reflect the complete contents of the health record. The information recorded as part of the wellness tools (goal tracking and health score) do not become part of your health record and are not viewable by your provider, clinic or hospital.
