MyChart Message

Messaging via MyChart

Messaging via MyChart is a convenient way to receive care and get answers for non-urgent medical needs from your Gundersen care team. What may seem like a simple question to a patient could require a provider to spend a significant amount of time doing an in-depth review of a patient’s medical record to provide appropriate medical advice.
