This flu season, don’t wait to vaccinate

Flu clinics are open at ARC primary care locations for new and established patients. Additionally, flu shots are available at ob/gyn appointments. Because protection wanes toward the end of the flu season, September and October are the best times to get vaccinated.

Book online at ARCflushot.com or ask for it at your next scheduled visit.

ARC MyChart updates for your convenience

MyChart recently got new features to make it easier for you to update and view health information. Your legal name is now displayed along with your preferred name when printing records. Test results automatically released to your chart are now simpler and easier to read. And you’ll notice new icons for a clearer view of your scheduling options. See all the updates on the ARC blog. 

Reminder: Changes to ARC MyChart billing coming November 14

Starting November 14, 2023, Austin Regional Clinic will enroll all MyChart users in paperless billing for a more secure and convenient way to view and pay your bill. Please make sure that your email is correct to ensure proper delivery of your statement emails. You can learn how to update your email address in MyChart here.
