Sign-in page
Users (patients/family/advocates) can quickly and easily create and sign-in to their Patient Portal account.
To create a Patient Portal account users can click on options such as “Sign in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Google” which then uses the credentials in those accounts. Alternatively, a user can create a Patient Portal account using their email address or mobile number.
