Thanks to each and every one of you for entrusting your care to us over the years!
We anticipate the Athena portal will be available through late February 2024 to handle requests for records transfer.
The simplest method is to send a portal message to Dr. Forbes with the name and location of the new practice and your request will be handled within 5 business days. If you prefer to do this yourself or wish to download records to your personal computer, simply:
Log into your portal
Click on "My Health"
Click on "Health Records"
Follow the prompts from there.
Please be aware that practices have limits on the number of documents they can receive and rarely want anything older than the past two years.
