Requesting Copies of Medical Records

Patients may request copies of medical records to be released to themselves or others/third parties by submitting a request in writing to the Health Information Management (HIM / Medical Records) department. Please see our ‘Questions about Medical Records’ for information on release requirements and other important information before submitting a request for records. Record requests from patients are handled as priority and should be released within 96 hours (4 days). For urgent requests, please call our Customer Service team after submitting the request at: (727) 893-6705.
