Virtual Visits with MyChart

This step-by-step photo guide will help you get set up for your Virtual Visit through MyChart.

Video visits are a convenient way to meet with your provider without coming to the hospital or your doctor's office in person. Mobile devices are preferred, because most already have the appropriate camera and microphone setup for video visits. However, you can also use a web browser on a desktop computer or laptop.
