The next session of Healthy U is scheduled for noon on Thursday, January 18th, at the Cass County Health System. Wendy Hunter – Williams, RN, BSN, will present the program on how to utilize MyChart, the new patient portal available for CCHS patients. Wendy is a clinical health coach at Atlantic Medical Center.

She says “It is important that patients partner with medical providers in the healthcare process. MyChart is a valuable online tool that provides tremendous information and access for patients so they can be an active partner in improving their own health.”

Wendy has been with Atlantic Medical Center for five years. As a clinical health coach, she assists patients with the day-to-day management of chronic illnesses, providing support between visits with their medical providers.
