MyChart Guide: Health Information

You can use MyChart to view and manage your personal health information, including your COVID-19 records, personal health notes, current health summary, test results, medication information and more.

COVID-19 Records

Go to Your Menu > My Record > COVID-19.

Vaccinations/Boosters

Record your COVID-19 vaccinations/boosters in MyChart and then print or download your vaccination records via a QR code or as a PDF to keep on file or present as proof of vaccination. You may access the same records in this area for any proxy accounts you have access to, such as a child.

COVID-19 Test Results

If you have had COVID-19 tests done at Community, your test results may also be found in this section.

Personal Notes

The Personal Notes feature allows you to add your own secure notes about your healthcare right where you need them most. This is designed for your own record-keeping and is not a way to communicate with your provider(s). Personal notes can only be viewed by you and are not part of your permanent medical record.

You may add personal notes on the following pages:

  • Allergies
  • Medications
  • Problems
  • Immunizations
  • Preventive Care
  • Medical / Social / Surgical / Family History
  • Family Status

Flowsheets to Track Daily Health

Your provider might request that you record information such as your daily glucose or blood pressure readings in MyChart. The order is called a "flowsheet" in MyChart. When you enter the information in the flowsheet, your provider automatically receives the readings so he can monitor your progress between visits.

Below are instructions for connecting a flowsheet to a health tracking device such as Google Fit or Apple Health to complete the provider order request.
