Connected care at Bronson

We believe connected care is better care. No matter what service or where in the Bronson system you are being treated, your medical information is recorded in one electronic health record system. All of your Bronson doctors and caregivers can connect to at any time. This makes it easier for everyone involved in your care to stay up-to-date and collaborate to achieve what matters most to you. And by signing up for a free Bronson MyChart account, you can also get online access to view your test results, refill prescriptions, communicate with your doctor and much more.

Innovative procedures

We pride ourselves on being able to provide you or your loved one with some of the most innovative digestive health procedures. This ensures you have access to the latest care options many of which provide better outcomes, shorter recovery times and a quicker return to health.

In fact, Bronson Methodist Hospital is proud to have received a Specialty Excellence Award from Healthgrades, placing us in the top 10% in the nation in 2025 for gastrointestinal care.
