UH Patients Regain MyChart Access

University Hospitals restored MyChart access Saturday, weeks after a cybersecurity incident forced the Cleveland health system’s online patient portal offline.

After UH disconnected its systems Oct. 22, patients lost online access to test results, prescription information, and bill pay. Bill pay remained down Sunday but is expected back this week.

UH still hasn’t said what caused the incident, which law enforcement and cybersecurity experts are investigating.

New test results may be slightly delayed as data is reconciled.

Ohio Set to Honor Its Veterans

The National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus will mark 250 years of American military service and the 25th anniversary of 9/11 on Wednesday, as Veterans Day ceremonies take place around the Buckeye State.

Speakers include Mentor native Jennifer Ballou, a retired Army master sergeant whose husband was killed in action while she was deployed to Afghanistan. Central Ohio combat veteran Zachariah Collett and retired Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne Bass will also speak. You can find more central Ohio celebrations here.

In Cleveland, the Veterans Day parade will wind from City Hall through downtown to Tower City, while Mentor will dedicate a new Veteran Niche Wall Memorial.

In Cincinnati, active and retired military members will get free zoo admission, while the Cincinnati Public Library on Vine Street will host a Veterans Day program.

Magazine Names Best Hometowns

Ohio Magazine named Loveland, Marietta, Marion, Massillon, and Tiffin its Best Hometowns for 2026-27, honoring places shaped by history, local character, and investment in the community.

In Massillon, which is celebrating its bicentennial, residents still rally around Tigers football, the high school program Paul Brown coached before leading Ohio State and building the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.

In Marion, the hometown of former President Harding, one local developer has completed 20 projects since 2018, starting on a South Main Street block that was once 80% vacant.

In Marietta, the Northwest Territory’s first permanent settlement, about 6.5 miles of brick streets crisscross the town, the most in Ohio. In Loveland, the mayor dresses as Elvis to renew couples’ vows during a Valentine’s weekend party that draws thousands of people.

In Tiffin, local economic development leaders saved hundreds of jobs by helping sell Toledo Molding & Die’s Tiffin and Bowling Green plants to a Michigan manufacturer after the company abruptly announced its Tiffin closure.
