Medical Records

The Medical Records/ Health Information Department is responsible for the maintenance and safeguarding of every patient's medical record for each of their visits to the hospital. When a patient requests a copy of his/her record, the H.I.M. departments first verifies the patient's identity and once verified will produce a copy of the requested record.

To Obtain Your Medical Record:

To ensure the privacy of patients and their families and to comply with federal regulations, it is necessary to have patients sign a release of information form to obtain medical records.
