How to Get Started

Step 1 The person requesting proxy access to a family member's account must have their own personal Memorial MyChart account.

If you have a MyChart account but forgot your user name or password, you can reset your password online or recover your username.

If you don't have a Memorial Mychart account, you can get one by Requesting an activation code. You must have been a patient or had an appointment with a healthcare professional at Memorial to request an activation code. You can also obtain a MyChart activation code from your participating MyChart doctor's office.

If you never had an encounter with our facilities or providers and need a MyChart account to gain proxy access to a family member's MyChart. Please contact the patient's Memorial provider's office to create a medical record number and provide you with an activation code for MyChart. If the patient doesn't have a provider (for example, the patient came for labs or came through the Emergency room), please complete this form, attach it with a government-issued photo ID and email it to us mychart@mhs.net for assistance. Please allow a 3 business day for a reply.

Once you activate/have access to your personal MyChart account follow step 2 for requesting proxy access for an Adult, Child (Under age 13) or Teen (13-18)

Step 2 Once you have access to your personal MyChart account you can request proxy access to either an adult account or a child account.
