Patient Portal Info

What is a Patient Portal?

Patient Portals are online health management tools that offer patients 24/7, convenient access to their personal health information, improve communication between patients and providers and streamline processes.

St. James Parish Hospital Patient Portal

Our hospital, ER and clinics offer a secure web-based patient portal through Cerner Health. Our upgraded EHR solution utilizes one platform for all patient records. This means that whether you are seen in our ER, have a wellness visit at a clinic or come in for an x-ray, all of your information is housed in one system which can be accessed through one patient portal. Patients will be invited to join the portal after visiting us. If you missed your initial invitation, click here to self-enroll.
