Penn State Health offers an easier way for you to connect to care
You can now access your scheduled virtual health care appointment right from your phone, tablet or computer by just clicking a link. You will receive the link from your provider via text or email within 24 hours of your appointment.
When you click the link to start your appointment, you will see a welcome page where you will enter your name and mobile number and be asked to read and acknowledge a Notice of Privacy Practices. After a pre-visit tech check, your virtual health care visit will begin. Our Virtual Health Care Patient User Guide provides helpful step-by-step instructions on how to join a virtual health care visit if you need more information.
