Cerner Patient Portal Common Questions
A patient portal is a secure online website that gives you convenient 24-hour access to your personal health information and medical records. It’s known as your electronic health record or EHR. Use on any device with an Internet connection.

No, only health information gathered on or after May 16, 2022, will be available on your Patient Portal. HealtheLife is part of North Country Hospital’s new electronic medical system called Cerner. Because it is a new system, only the information gathered after installation will appear. While information prior to May 16, 2022, is stored in your hospital medical record, your Patient Portal will display information added after the creation of the portal.
Visit the Patient Portal and click either “Forgot My Username” or Forgot My Password” to reset. You can also call Cerner Consumer Care at 877-621-8014 for patient portal and HealtheLife app assistance.
