The My Pen Bay patient portal has been fully replaced by MyChart, effective January 28, 2017. Hospital visit and provider visit medical records are available through MyChart now.

My Pen Bay users who do not have a MyChart account will need to sign up for MyChart. For more information about MyChart, please see the MyChart section above.

Pen Bay Medical Center is pleased to announce that as of January 28, 2017 we will officially have a shared electronic health record.

What does this mean for our patients?

• One Place for Your Health Information
• Information is safely and securely kept in one place, so each provider sees the same record.
• Fewer Forms & Clipboards
• Your most up-to-date information is in your record instantly, and there is no need to complete duplicate forms.
• No Repeated Tests or Procedures
• Having current information, in real-time, means your providers can avoid requesting a test another provider just ordered. That saves you time and money.
• Direct Access to Your Health Information
• View your health information online using MyChart, a secure patient portal that allows you to renew prescriptions, request new appointments, view your health history, and communicate directly with your MaineHealth providers.
• Thanks to SeHR, your healthcare providers at Pen Bay Medical Center and all of PBMC’s physician practices will have your health information in one place, no matter where you go.
• Whether you find yourself at the Emergency Room or visiting your family practitioner, your care team will have everything they need to know at the tips of their fingers to ensure you receive the best care possible.
