Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is circulating in our area. The best thing you can do to guard your health against pertussis is check that you are up to date on your Tdap or DTap vaccines. If you suspect you may have contracted pertussis or came into contact with someone who was diagnosed, you should schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC). Read our pertussis local update.
If you prefer to get one notification about test results instead of receiving one every time a new result is released, you can turn on Daily Summary. With Daily Summary, you receive a single text message between 8:00am - 10:00am notifying you of any new test results from the day before. Learn how to activate Daily Summary below:
When there are no new test results in your MyChart, you will not receive a Daily Summary notification. If you need a test result sooner than you receive the daily summary, you can still log in to ARC MyChart to view once it has been released. You can also choose to turn off the Daily Summary feature in your communication preferences in the future.
