Why Ryan Health?
Ryan Health delivers exceptional primary care to our patients, as well as a range of services from women's health and pediatrics, to behavioral health, HIV care, and chronic disease management. Our Care Teams include doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, nurses, health educators, and patient services representatives.
Ryan Health is committed to reducing or eliminating financial barriers to care. Patients are welcome regardless of ability to pay. We offer a sliding fee-discount program based on family size and income. You must apply with a Ryan Health staff member to see if you qualify. In addition, we offer discounts on health insurance deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance, when possible. Our staff will work with you to make sure that cost does not prevent you from receiving needed healthcare services.

Ryan Health uses a secure electronic medical record (EMR) for patients’ medical information. Our MyCare Portal gives you direct access, through a secure website, to some of your personal health information in the EMR. The MyCare Portal also allows you to:
- Request or cancel appointments
- Request a refill of prescriptions
- Send and receive messages to your provider
- View some of your lab results
- View your visit summaries
If you are a registered Ryan Health patient and have an active email address, you can request access to the Portal here. Please select your primary location and submit your information.
Once you have a user name and password, you can get to the MyCare Portal directly from our website www.ryanhealth.org by clicking on the "Existing Patients" link at the top of every page and follow the instructions to log in.
For detailed instructions on how to use the MyCare Portal, please reference our Help Video
If you are an adult patient, only YOU or your legal guardian (if any) has access to your personal health information in the MyCarePortal.
From time to time, you may wish to enter additional personal information about your medical care through the MyCare Portal. All of the information you enter will be subject to the same privacy protections and only accessed by providers according to Ryan Health's Notice of Privacy Practices. All of the personal health information of our patients is maintained on secure servers on-site in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH).
Yes. Just as with on-line banking, you can keep personal information on the MyCare Portal secure and confidential by:
- Never sharing your user name and password
- Always “logging off” when you are done using the MyCare Portal
- Resetting your password if you suspect the security of your log-on has been compromised.
You may also contact Patient Services to disable your account.
No problem. There are two ways to deal with that:
1. You can reset your own password on-line by answering the security questions you set when you signed up initially. You will then receive an email with the information needed to reset your password.
