Great Plains Health
North Platte, Neb., March 11, 2025 -- Great Plains Health has launched a new online appointment scheduling feature through MyChart, allowing patients to book medical appointments on their own time without making a phone call.
The new self-scheduling capability is now available for established patients in Great Plains Family Medicine, Great Plains Pediatrics and Great Plains Health Internal Medicine, with plans to expand to additional specialties in the future.
"This online scheduling feature gives patients more control over their health care by simplifying the appointment process," said Ivan Mitchell, chief executive officer of Great Plains Health. "We want to reduce the stress of coordinating medical appointments by providing patients with convenient tools that fit into their busy lives."
The new feature enables patients to view real-time appointment availability, schedule appointments 24/7 whenever it's convenient, receive immediate confirmation, and manage their healthcare on their own terms.
Online scheduling is just one feature in the MyChart patient portal. With the click of a button, MyChart also allows patients to securely communicate with providers, access test results and health records, request refill authorization or prescription renewal, view upcoming appointments and more.
If you don't have a MyChart account, you can enroll by visiting
