What are Groups?
Backpack Health is a unique tool that helps you keep track of all of your health info so that it's portable, manageable, sharable, and translatable. And, by being connected to various groups or organizations through Backpack Health, you'll also have the opportunity to connect with others and make a difference together.
If you are joining a group on behalf of someone else (such as your child), please first switch into their profile, so that you can join the group on their behalf. If they don’t already have a profile in your Backpack, you must add it first.
To join a group:
Navigate to Groups from the main menu.
Select the plus (+) icon and search for a group.
You can search by name, condition, or concern that group addresses
