Check it out! The Morris Hospital MyHealth patient portal has a new look to make it easier and more intuitive than ever for patients to manage their health information. Whether you use MyHealth to check test results, manage appointments, or communicate with your Morris Hospital care team, the portal updates are designed with our patients in mind. The re-design includes an at-a-glance dashboard, improved menu navigation, streamlined results and reports, and a calendar view so you can see all of your upcoming appointments in one location. You will also have the option of adding appointments to your personal digital calendar! We hope you enjoy the improved patient portal experience!

The future is looking bright! After seeing a Morris mom’s Facebook post about her daughter wanting to be a Morris Hospital nurse for Halloween, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to help make her costume extra special. Today, we surprised young Abigail with her very own authentic Morris Hospital Future RN badge, presented by Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nurse Executive Kim Landers along with a group of Morris Hospital nurses. It was such a joy to see her excitement as she became an honorary Morris Hospital Nurse. Moments like this remind us why nurses make such an incredible impact and inspire the next generation to follow in their footsteps. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Abigail!
