Patient Information

Value of Health Information Exchanges | Participating Providers | Frequently Asked Questions

Mihealthelink is an online resource that allows essential patient information to be shared with authorized health care professionals through a secure and confidential network. This Regional Health Information Organization encompasses Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties.

This network will provide your medical team access to such information as lab reports, radiology reports, and important medication history, eliminating the need for numerous phone calls and faxes to obtain information. A routine office visit or medical emergency will produce patient records in a timely, secure and confidential manner.

·         Ease of obtaining second opinions

Your entire medical team can access the diagnostic information they need.
