Option 2: Schedule an Appointment

When you are ready to schedule an appointment with Yale Health, you can call the relevant department directly or schedule an appointment at the department’s front desk in the building. Scan the QR code to view the Yale Health department directory

The scheduling team will offer to send you an activation code to the phone number or email on file. Once you receive the text or email, you can click the link to create your account. 

Please note that our staff cannot update your email or phone number without confirming your identity in person. If the information is incorrect or outdated, please follow the instructions above to verify and update the information in your Yale Hub.

Please do not contact the Yale Health clinical departments solely for a MyChart Activation Code

If you are unsuccessful after trying Option 1 above, and are not intending to schedule an appointment, please contact the MyChart Support Team at 203-688-2231, option 5, or mychartsupport@ynhh.org.
