Medical Records

The medical record of every patient treated at the hospital is maintained by the Health Information Management department. If you wish to have copies of your medical record, please provide a 72-hour advance notice. You may request copies between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday by calling 219-947-6175. We will need your signed authorization for any release. As a service to our patients, copies of medical records for continuing medical care are provided free of charge if we send directly to the provider. In accordance with state law, copies of medical records requested for any reason other than continuing medical care require a nominal per page copy fee assessed for each page requested. Your medical records can also be burned to a CD for your use or to take to another care provider.
