General Information
This document will outline how to log onto LGHealth Citrix web interface to use e-Health and other
applications. https://iconnect.lghealth.org is the URL when a user is at a pre-approved physician office.
This includes all affiliated Doctor’s offices and business locations but should not be used from Home.
If you sign into the website and get the error: “Unable to launch your application. Contact your help
desk with the following information: Cannot connect to the Citrix XenApp server. There is no Citrix
XenApp server configured on the specified address.” This means that your site or machine is not set
up correctly to connect in this manner. Alert your technical contact and try using your previous
method of connecting to e-Health at LGH.

Typically the Web
Client is all that is
needed to get
connected to Citrix.
Uninstall older
versions of the
Citrix client and
reboot before
installing the latest
one.
The Web Interface
page will time out
after 20 minutes of
inactivity.
You can continue to
work in your
current application
with no issues.

to log in and launch
another application.
