OhioGuidestone

Among the First to Offer a Portal to Behavioral Health Care

OhioGuidestone is unveiling a new tool that gives Ohioans unprecedented access to behavioral health services.

MyHealthPointe ™ (myHP) is a user-friendly, client-driven portal into OhioGuidestone, allowing clients to actively participate in their treatment plan and their recovery. The technology is cutting edge for behavioral health care and OhioGuidestone is one of the first to have it.

Starting out with myHP:

• Clients can sign and submit forms and other treatment documents.

• Access on demand self-help and resources.

• Securely communicate via message with OhioGuidestone professionals.

• Bill Pay to allow online payment of client balances.

• More features to come...!

OhioGuidestone President and CEO Brant Russell says myHP will strengthen the relationship between an individual and their provider. “We are opening a communication superhighway where our clients can connect with their care team and quickly get the help they need.” He says better communication allows an individual to become more invested in their healthcare, which leads to better outcomes for everyone involved.

MyHealthPointe ™ is accessible through a computer, smartphone, or tablet using the device’s web browser or Android/iOS app (the app is free and available in both the Google Play and Apple app stores).
