Glacial Ridge Health System implemented a new patient portal in September 2020, upgrading from InteliChart® to MyCareCornerTM. A transition was needed as the prior portal is no longer supported.
Patients who receive care at any of our locations — Glacial Ridge Hospital and ER, Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care, Glenwood Medical Center, Brooten Medical Center, and Starbuck Medical Center — can take an active role in managing their own health through the new patient portal, with more robust features in the near future. In addition to handling their own care, parents and healthcare proxies (with authorized consent) will appreciate the ability to access the records of those individuals for whom they manage care.
The secure messaging feature in the patient portal is only for NON-URGENT medical questions or concerns. Please call our clinics or hospital directly for urgent health concerns. For all other messages for your provider, billing, medical records, etc., please continue using this feature in the portal! Our staff will respond within 2-3 business days.
If you are a new patient at GRHS, have never used our patient portal, or missed the timeline to transfer your prior patient portal to the new one, the most convenient option is to create a new account by clicking on the button above. Once you complete the basic information, GRHS will be notified and you will be sent an email with a secure link within 1-2 business days to resume setting up your account.
Another option is to wait for your next clinic appointment. At that time, you will receive printed information about MyCareCornerTM including instructions on how to sign up.
Past Portal Users at GRHS:
GRHS patients with a prior patient portal through InteliChart® were sent an email mid-September with a secure link to create a new account with MyCareCornerTM. As of September 28, 2020, the patient portal through InteliChart® is no longer available to access.
If you missed the window of opportunity to transfer, please continue by setting up a new account by clicking on the button above. Once you complete the basic information, GRHS will be notified and you will be sent an email with a secure link within 1-2 business days to resume setting up your account.

Additional information:
Each health system has its own electronic health record system so this does not provide access to your health information at other hospitals and clinics.
Information you have entered in the Patient Portal is not visible to your physician.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
