The MyHealth team continues to grow! We’re excited to welcome Kendra Burkhalter, Taylor Kilander and Leo Allard to the team.

Kendra Burkhalter, Account Relationship Manager, has built her career around serving communities, with a particular focus on mental health and underserved populations. She prides herself on making complicated topics easy and relatable—an especially valuable skill as she builds relationships with MyHealth participants. And a fun fact: Kendra is such a talented tambourine player in her church choir that her friends have nicknamed her the “Tambourine Queen.”

Taylor Kilander, Client Network and Training Coordinator, joins MyHealth with a background in education and instructional design. Taylor approaches life by taking things as they come, being good to people and trusting that things will work out with a personal motto of, “Today is the day.”

Leo Allard, Clinical Data Analyst, brings more than a decade of experience working with the Epic EMR, along with multiple Epic Cogito analytics and reporting certifications and experience working for Oklahoma’s largest not-for-profit healthcare system. For Leo, working with healthcare data is an opportunity to positively impact the lives of people in his community. Outside of work, he’s also a musician who plays in two bands spanning alternative rock and acoustic-driven Americana.

We’re excited to have Kendra, Taylor and Leo bring their unique experience and perspectives to MyHealth. Please join us in welcoming them to the team!

If you’re a MyHealth Provider Portal user, join us for our monthly Provider Portal Feedback Forum, hosted virtually by the MyHealth team!

Our next session is October 20 at 1 p.m. CT, with a special focus on behavioral health.

This casual workgroup gives Provider Portal users an opportunity to share their experiences in a supportive environment. Tell us what you enjoy about the portal, what could be improved and what features you’d like to see in the future. Your feedback helps us better understand the needs of the people who use the Provider Portal every day.

This month, we’ll also feature a guest organizational highlight from CREOKS Health Services. CREOKS will share how its team uses MyHealth and Oklahoma’s HIE to help bridge the gap between behavioral and physical healthcare, including accessing more comprehensive medical information, supporting care coordination, reducing duplication and developing more informed, tailored care plans.

Join us to hear directly from CREOKS, connect with other users and share your feedback with the MyHealth team.

📅 October 20, 2026 | 🕐 1 p.m. CT | 💻 Register on Zoom for this Virtual Session

Our Account Relationship Manager, Katie Cooper, recently visited Axis HealthCare - Bartlesville location and met with Dr. Hightower, one of the organization’s most active MyHealth Provider Portal users.

Dr. Hightower shared that he uses the Provider Portal to look up 60–80 patients each month, particularly when seeing new patients or filling in gaps in their medical history. He has become familiar with navigating information from different healthcare organizations, helping him quickly find the records he needs to support patient care. The visit also gave him an opportunity to share valuable feedback about his experience with the portal.

Of course, being one of Axis Healthcare’s most active portal users deserves some recognition! After jokingly asking for a gold star, Katie surprised Dr. Hightower with an unofficial “Exceptional Utilization” certificate. ⭐

"Thank you to Dr. Hightower and the Axis Healthcare team for making MyHealth Access Network part of your workflow, using health information to support patient care, and continuing to share feedback that helps us improve!"

Have you ever left a doctor's appointment and thought of something you forgot to mention?

Maybe it was a medication you started taking, a recent visit to another provider, or a test you had a few months ago. It happens to all of us.

As patients, we can’t be expected to remember every detail of our health history, especially when care takes place across multiple healthcare organizations.

MyHealth Access Network helps participating providers securely access relevant clinical information from other participating organizations, giving them additional context to support informed decisions and more coordinated care.

While every conversation between a patient and provider remains essential, connected health information helps ensure the full picture doesn't rely on memory alone.

Every healthcare decision starts with reliable information.

On World Patient Safety Day, we recognize the importance of providing healthcare professionals with timely access to accurate, up-to-date patient information.

When authorized providers have a more complete view of a patient's health history, they can make more informed clinical decisions, reduce unnecessary duplicate testing, and better coordinate care across healthcare settings.

Patient safety is a shared responsibility and connected health information is one way we can help support safer, more efficient care for patients everywhere.
