Secure Messaging
- Got the burning question after office hours at home? This service provides you with a direct line to your healthcare team, without sacrificing the security of private information. This immediate stream of interaction could ease concern and offer understanding about your health problems.
Sharing of Test Results

Your test results are released to your MyChart account after your physician has reviewed them; because of this, they can take a few days or even weeks before being available on the portal. This helps make you faster to understand what your condition is and whether any follow up care has become necessary.
Coordination of Care
Even your interactions are not confined to only Your Kettering MyChart. It plugs in your entire care team—specialists or other healthcare providers who are not directly connected with your circle. This well-rounded view makes sure everyone is on board with your care, so that a more informed path will lead to better coordinated and efficient care plans.
