COMING SOON: A New and Improved Patient Portal
Sarasota Memorial is excited to announce that it is transitioning to a new patient portal called MyChart, making it easier for you to access your health information and stay connected to your care.
Beginning Oct. 3, 2026, MyChart will be replacing Follow My Health. Most of your health information will transfer between systems automatically.
On Oct. 2, access to Follow My Health will be read-only. No new health information will be added and messaging will be disabled.
If you would like a personal copy of your information, you can download and save your data in the FollowMyHealth portal by using the export, print, or send features on a computer or mobile device:
- From the mobile app: Go to the "My Health" tab, click "Send" or the export icon, and choose to print, email, or export your files.
- From a computer: Go to the My Health tab, choose Summary, and click the Send option located at the top of the section. Select Print or Export to save the file as a PDF on your computer or choose Email to send a copy to your personal inbox.
We will share more details in the coming weeks, including when you can begin using MyChart and what to expect during the transition.
Follow My Health is separate from the Sarasota Memorial First Physicians Group's My Health Record patient portal. For more information regarding the My Health Record transition to MyChart, please click here.
