Medical Records

Our Health Information Management (HIM) team protects the privacy and security of your health information and ensures your medical records are available for continuing care and other uses.

At a glance:

• If you need test results, immunization records, medication lists, after-visit summaries or clinical notes, you can download for yourself directly from MyChart.
• If you need a formal copy of a record, submit a Request Medical Records form through MyChart.
• If you need images, submit a Request Medical Records form through MyChart or complete this form. Return the form to HIM. If you need the images by a certain date, please indicate that on the form. We will do our best to accommodate.

Request records for personal use or continuing care

Patients who need to access their records for personal use or continuing care can easily access or request records via MyChart, our dedicated patient portal. MyChart allows you to download, save, print or request copies of self-downloadable health records, including:

• Test results
• Immunization records
• Medication lists and costs
• After-visit summaries and clinical notes

How to print or save records in MyChart

1. In the MyChart web browser, navigate to your desired visit summary, medication list, immunization record or other downloadable health record.
2. In the upper right corner of the page, you’ll see a printer icon, a gear icon or 3-dot icon, depending on the web browser you use.
3. Click the icon and follow the prompts to print or save your record as a PDF.

How to request additional records

To request records that cannot be self-downloaded, log in to MyChart and select Request Medical Record from the main MyChart menu. Fill out the records request form completely and follow the prompts to submit the request.

You can also request your records through the Sharing Hub in MyChart. Click Sharing Hub from the main menu, choose Request Formal Copy of Health Record, then follow the prompts to request your records.

You can also request medical records for personal use or continuing care by completing our Patient-Directed Request form and returning it to Health Information Management.

Patient-Directed Request form

Request medical records for deceased patients

To obtain a copy of a deceased patient's medical record:
