Access for Minors and Young Adults
We take patient privacy seriously and comply with HIPAA and Iowa state regulations.
Parents/Guardians of minors (ages 0–12) may request a proxy account to manage their child’s health information through FollowMyHealth.
Adolescents (ages 13–17) must create their own FollowMyHealth adolescent account. To comply with privacy laws, parents or guardians will not have automatic access to the adolescent’s information. However, the adolescent may choose to grant access to a parent or guardian through the “My Connections” section within their portal.
Adults (18+) must create and manage their own individual accounts.
If you need assistance setting up a proxy or adolescent account, please contact us.

Provide brief health updates (such as how you’re responding to a treatment)
Access lab results or visit summaries
If you have new symptoms, an in-depth concern, or need a detailed discussion, please schedule an appointment instead of sending a message. This helps us give you the thoughtful, comprehensive care you deserve.
