Medical Records

Viewing your health information

You have a direct link to access your own personal electronic health records immediately through hospital care and outpatient care patient portals. Log in to the appropriate patient portal to view items such as:

  • Pathology, radiology and lab results
  • Health records such as immunizations, medications and allergies
  • Hospital records such as discharge summaries and notes about procedures, progress and consultations
  • Health records to easily share with your doctors

Patient Portal and Log In

Please note that not all medical records are viewable and/or retrievable through the patient portal. For records that are not available through the patient portal, you may submit a request for a physical copy of your medical records to the site where you received care.

To request the records, please download an Authorization for Release of Health Information below. This is required for any use or disclosure of your health information.

The patient must sign the authorization unless the patient is a minor or declared physically or mentally incompetent. If the patient is a minor, one of the patient’s parents would sign the authorization. If the patient is mentally or physically incompetent the patient’s legal guardian would sign the authorization and provide a copy of the Durable Power of Attorney of Health Care. If requesting records on a deceased patient, please see requirements on the Authorization for Release of Health Information. Please note: unsigned or incomplete requests cannot be processed.

Mail or fax the completed form to the Health Information Management office. You may also complete the Authorization for Release of Health Information form in person at the appropriate office during business hours. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The offices are closed weekends and holidays.
