MyChart

As of November 1, 2021, the GW Medical Faculty Associates (GW MFA) transitioned to a new, upgraded patient portal, called MyChart. There are a lot of great benefits associated with MyChart, which gives you a secure and convenient way to manage your personal health information at home or on the go. Please find information below about the benefits of MyChart.

*Please note: On Oct. 31, FollowMyHealth will no longer serve as the patient portal for the GW Medical Faculty Associates. You will not be able to send messages, refill prescriptions, or request appointments for GW MFA providers using FollowMyHealth. However, you will still have access to review previous messages, appointments, prescriptions, and other information in the FollowMyHealth portal.
