Obtaining Medical Records

To obtain a copy of your medical records, send a written request to the hospital you received care at. Be sure to include the signature of the person whose records are being requested.

When making a request to a CHS facility for medical records, please address your request to the Correspondence Secretary in the Health Information Department at the appropriate location:
