What Sahara helps with

Sahara does not create or approve proxy access, and it cannot get around a decision Rush University System for Health makes. That stays with Rush University System for Health.

Once you can sign in to MyChart, Sahara is a free, read-only view of the record you are authorized to see, with general education from MedlinePlus for supported medications, labs and conditions, in English and Spanish. You connect through the MyChart authorization page and can disconnect at any time. Sahara does not give medical advice or interpret results.
