Medical Records
A record of the care patients receive is retained in the Health Information Management Department. These records are kept in strict confidence and are not released without the patient’s written consent, except as required by law.
The following must be presented to attain your medical record:
A completed authorization (all sections of the authorization must be completed for the records to be released.) In the case of a deceased patient, the Executor of the estate must send a copy of the legal papers authorizing him/her as Executor and a copy of the death certificate.
