To receive care at any one of CHRISTUS Health's hospitals, a person can search for a nearby location through the organization’s website at https://www.christushealth.org/find-a-doctor. Alternatively, they can sign up for MyCHRISTUS.

MyCHRISTUS is CHRISTUS Health’s virtual care service. It enables patients to manage their health from anywhere. They can access the platform through their digital device (smartphone, tablet, or computer), find a provider near them, schedule an appointment, and connect with a clinician directly, not a third-party service. Patients can even use the platform to receive test results and refill medical prescriptions.

If a person wants on-demand care, they do not have to schedule an appointment with a clinician. Instead, they pay a flat fee of $30 (by cash or insurance) and access On Demand Care on MyCHRISTUS. The platform will connect them to the next available physician. This service is open seven days a week from 7 am to 7 pm. CHRISTUS even has an accessibility option for visually impaired people and uses a screen reader or language translator.
