Health Information Management

To Receive Your Medical Records:

Before the hospital can release medical records, an Authorization to Release Information form must be signed by the patient or his/her legal representative outlining specifically what is to be released and to whom. If the patient is under the age of 18, a parent may sign for a copy of the records in most circumstances. An authorization is valid for 6 months and must be completed each time records are requested.

The Authorization to Release Information form can be obtained by:

• Visiting the Health Information Management department between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• Requesting that the form be mailed to you by calling 304-329-3220.
• Downloading the form and instructions here.

Please complete the form in its entirety for applicable areas.

For questions, please call 304-329-3220 Monday through Friday, 8 am-4:30 pm, excluding holidays.

You can return the form to HIM (Medical Records) by:
