Introduction
Managing your healthcare has never been easier, thanks to digital tools that put medical information right at your fingertips. MyDignityHealth — officially known as My Portal by Dignity Health — is a secure, user-friendly online patient portal that gives patients 24/7 access to their health records, test results, appointment schedules, and more. Whether you are a new patient or a long-time Dignity Health user, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the portal, how to set it up, and how to get the most out of its features.
What Is MyDignityHealth (My Portal by Dignity Health)?
MyDignityHealth, accessible at mydignityhealth.org, is an online health management platform offered by Dignity Health — one of the largest nonprofit healthcare systems in the United States, now operating under CommonSpirit Health. The portal is designed to bridge the gap between patients and their care teams by providing a centralized, secure space for managing all things healthcare-related.
From viewing laboratory reports to paying medical bills online, the portal simplifies how patients interact with their healthcare providers. It works across California, Arizona, and Nevada, covering dozens of hospitals and clinics within the Dignity Health network.
Key Features of the MyDignityHealth Patient Portal
1. Access Your Health Records Anytime
One of the biggest advantages of using MyDignityHealth is the ability to view your complete medical history on demand. You can access:
- Personal health records and clinical summaries
- Laboratory, imaging, and pathology results
- Visit summaries and discharge instructions
- Medication lists, allergy information, and immunization history
Gone are the days of waiting for your doctor’s office to mail you test results. With the portal, results are posted as soon as they are available, and you receive an automatic notification alerting you to check them.
2. Secure Messaging with Your Care Team
Need to ask a quick question about your medication or follow up after a procedure? MyDignityHealth allows you to send secure, encrypted messages directly to your healthcare team. This feature saves you the time and hassle of calling the office and waiting on hold. Your provider can respond at their convenience, and all communication is logged safely within your account.
3. Appointment Management
Through the portal, patients can:
- View upcoming and past appointments
- Download appointment details to their personal calendar
- Request new appointments with their care team (at participating locations)
This feature is especially helpful for patients who manage multiple specialists or have recurring visits for chronic conditions.
4. Online Bill Payment
MyDignityHealth makes it easy to handle your medical bills without mailing checks or making phone calls. The portal supports secure online bill payment for hospital visits, doctor consultations, and other Dignity Health services. It is a simple, fast, and safe way to stay on top of your healthcare expenses.
5. Prescription and Medication Management
Patients can view their current and past medications, request refills where available, and review allergy documentation — all within the portal. This gives both patients and providers a clear, up-to-date picture of a patient’s medication history, reducing the risk of errors.
6. Family and Dependent Access (Proxy Accounts)
MyDignityHealth also supports proxy access, allowing a parent or guardian to manage the healthcare information of eligible dependents. Children under 12 and dependent adults can have portal accounts managed by a trusted adult. Note that adolescents aged 12–17 are not eligible for portal accounts due to privacy protections related to certain types of care.
How to Set Up Your MyDignityHealth Account
Getting started with the portal is straightforward. Here is a step-by-step breakdown:
Step 1: Receive Your Invitation During your hospital visit or after scheduling an appointment, you will receive an email invitation from Dignity Health (sent from no-reply@commonspirit.org). This invitation contains a link to set up your account.
Step 2: Follow the Enrollment Link Click the link in the email and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be asked to verify your identity, create login credentials, and set up security preferences.
Step 3: Log In and Explore Once your account is created, you can log in via the web at dignityhealth.org by clicking “My Portal Login” in the upper-right corner, or through the My Portal by Dignity Health mobile app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

How to Use the Mobile App
In February 2024, Dignity Health officially launched the My Portal mobile app, making it even more convenient for patients to manage their healthcare on the go. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices and offers all the same features as the web portal, including:
- Push notifications for new lab results and portal invitations
- Easy navigation between health records, appointments, and messages
- A clean, modern interface designed for accessibility and ease of use
To get started with the app:
- Download “My Portal by Dignity Health” from the App Store or Google Play
- Sign in using the same email and password you use on the website
- Select your care region (this is important — choosing the wrong region may cause login errors)
Navigating the Portal: Tips for New Users
Here are some practical tips to help you get the most out of your MyDignityHealth experience:
Choose the Correct Region: The portal uses different access links depending on where you receive care — California (Bay Area, Central Coast, Ventura, Southern California), Arizona, or Nevada. Using the wrong regional link may result in a “400 Bad Request” error. Always select the region that matches your care location.
Enable Notifications: Turn on portal notifications so you are instantly alerted when new lab results are posted or when dependent invitations need attention.
Keep Your Contact Information Updated: The portal relies on your registered email address for all communications. Make sure your email is current so you never miss important health updates.
Use the 24/7 Support Line: If you run into any technical issues, Dignity Health’s technical support line is available around the clock at (844) 274-8497.
Data Privacy and Security
Dignity Health takes patient data security seriously. The My Portal platform is built with high standards of data integrity and confidentiality. All patient information is protected in accordance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations. The portal uses encrypted connections to ensure your personal and medical data remains private at all times.
You also have control over who can see your records. If you wish to give a trusted family member access to help manage your care, you can authorize them as a proxy by signing a release through your care facility.
Who Can Use MyDignityHealth?
MyDignityHealth is available to patients who receive care at Dignity Health facilities across:
- California — Bay Area, Central Coast, Greater Sacramento, North State, Southern California, and Ventura County
- Arizona — Arizona General Hospitals and St. Joseph’s Westgate Medical Center
- Nevada — St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and Dignity Health Medical Group Nevada clinics
Patients only need an internet connection and a valid email address to get started. If you are unsure whether your facility is included, you can check the portal enrollment page at dignityhealth.org/enroll-now.
Transitioning from My Care to My Portal
If you were previously a My Care user, you do not need to create a new account. Your credentials carry over to the updated My Portal platform. Note that health records from visits on or before June 19, 2022 can still be accessed via the legacy My Care link (which was valid through December 31, 2024). For any records questions beyond this date, contact your facility’s Health Information Management (HIM) department.
