If you're a University Hospitals patient, you can log in to again. UH announced Saturday that the portal is back. It had been down since Oct. 22, when UH disconnected its systems from the internet after detecting unusual activity on its servers.

Not everything is caught up. UH cautioned that some features may not work fully and new test results may be delayed. While the portal was down, patients couldn't view test results, message doctors, renew prescriptions or manage appointments.

  • Call volumes were high while MyChart was down
  • UH called patients to remind them of upcoming appointments
  • Cybersecurity experts and law enforcement are investigating

Most of UH stayed open while MyChart was down

Hospitals, ERs, doctors' officesOpen throughout
MyChartBack as of Saturday

UH says it won't call, text or email you to ask for sensitive information such as passwords or Social Security numbers. We suggest hanging up and calling your doctor's office if a message seems off.

Cavs

The Cavaliers hold LeBron James to eight points in a 119-⁠95 win

LeBron James came home Friday, and Rocket Arena wasn't gentle. The Cavaliers beat the Philadelphia 76ers 119-95 in an group stage game.

James got loud cheers during player introductions and some boos after. He reacted to the mixed reception afterward:

“I've seen damn near the depths of hell when it comes to reception here all the way to, like, the heavens above. So, anything in between is easy money.”

Cleveland played without center Jarrett Allen, who has a bruised right knee, and got big minutes from young players. The teams meet again at Rocket Arena March 1.

  • Evan Mobley: 22 points
  • Biggest Cavs lead: 25 points in the fourth quarter

I’m praying for the crooks that vandalized my home this morning… the God I serve is a great vindicator, and I know it was better me than someone else ….

“They could have easily have been shot and killed in the one way in, one way out situation. I was only away from home for 30 min. What a senseless non-caring human who destroys the property of someone who has so little…”
