Frequently Asked Patient Questions
Where does the health information in the patient portal come from?
The information reflects the information in your Ascension Lourdes electronic medical record. If you believe any data is wrong, please call Ascension Lourdes Health Information Management at 607-798-5970 or the provider who ordered your test or entered the information in your chart.
Can I enroll to view my children’s medical information?
Yes, parents or guardians of children up to age 13 can access their children’s medical information on the Ascension Lourdes Patient Portal.
