CAMC Patient Route Hub

Use this 2026 guide before you log in, call Charleston Area Medical Center, search for MyChart, find a doctor, choose the right CAMC hospital, use the ER, request records, pay a bill, report a concern, or plan a visit in Charleston or Teays Valley.

The key correction: many people search “CAMC MyChart,” but CAMC’s official portal is PatientLink. Use PatientLink for available records, test results, medication lists, visit summaries, messages to CAMC-employed physician offices, appointment requests and prescription-renewal requests.
