Royal C. Johnson Veterans Memorial Hospital

My HealtheVet is a free, online personal health record. It is available 24/7, where ever there is Internet access. Secure Messaging is now available through some VA clinics and expanding to others throughout 2011

Veterans can now keep track of their past and future VA medical appointments and get e-mail appointment reminders through My HealtheVet (www.myhealth.va.gov).

Veterans who use My HealtheVet can view their VA appointments in the ‘Get Care’ section of their account. The system also allows them to set up e-mail reminders of future appointments if they choose to subscribe to e-mail reminders for appointments on the Health Calendar within the website.

This feature is only available to Veterans who have registered for a My HealtheVet account and have been in-person authenticated. The in-person authentication process upgrades the Veteran’s account, which allows him/her to take advantage of all the advanced features available on My HealtheVet. The in-person authentication can be done when you come to the medical center for an appointment. See a Release of Information clerk, and they will assist you.

Veterans who are interested in creating a My HealtheVet account should log onto www.myhealth.va.gov and click on “Register Today,” or contact Daniel DeBlock, My HealtheVet Coordinator, at 605 336-3230, extension 6440 for more information or assistance with the website.
