NEW PATIENT PORTAL FEATURES
The MyIslandHealth patient portal now simplifies pre-visit registration for patients by letting them complete several tasks online (e.g. update demographics, medications, insurance info, etc.) prior to coming in for an appointment. This feature saves patients time on the day of their visit. And, in the next couple of months patients will be able to book clinic appointments and check-in for appointments on the portal.

To learn more about how the portal can help you manage your healthcare, check out our patient portal tutorial videos or sign up for a one-on-one appointment with a portal support staff member.
