How Do I Transfer or Obtain Copies of My Medical Records?

To request copies of your medical records or to have your records transferred to another healthcare provider, please complete our Authorization for Release of Information form.

• The authorization must be signed by the patient (must be at least 18 years of age), a parent of a minor patient, or the patient’s legally empowered representative. Legally emancipated minors may sign for their own records.
• Please fill out the form as completely as you can.
  • If you need x-ray films transferred to another health care provider, please note this on the form as well. We will forward your request to our Radiology department.
• Please mail or fax your signed, completed authorization to:
