Information Enhancements in Your MyChart Personal Health Record

As part of the recently announced affiliation between Cleveland Clinic and the Akron General Health System, as of September 29, 2015, if you, as a MyChart patient, receive care from a physician associated with Akron General, you will now be able to view the results of tests conducted at an Akron General facility in your secure MyChart account.

By enhancing the information in MyChart, we hope to enhance the sense of partnership you share with your Cleveland Clinic and Akron General care teams

Get Your Flu Vaccine � It's Not Too Late!
Each year, 5-20% of Americans get the flu, and over 200,000 are hospitalized. If you haven�t gotten a flu shot, it's not too late to protect yourself and those you love. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), flu season typically peaks in January or February (though flu activity can last as long as late May). If you missed our Northeast Ohio flu clinics, please make an appointment to receive the vaccine from your primary care provider.
