Important Update About Your Patient Portal
Our office has recently switched from the Veradigm system to the Athena system for your health records.
- Your old Veradigm portal account is now view only. You can still log in to see past information, but you won’t be able to send new messages there.
- Your new Athena portal account can be set up at your next office visit. Or feel free to activate it online, utilizing the portal link on FHConline.com.
- Because we expect more phone calls than usual during this change, please wait before callingwith questions about the portal, unless it’s urgent.
Thank you for your patience as we make this change. We know new systems can take some getting used to, and we’ll help you every step of the way.
