Medical Records


A patient, or his/her legal representative, may obtain a copy of their medical records, or have copies of the medical records sent to another health care provider. John C. Fremont Healthcare District requires a completed and signed Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information form before releasing any documents to anyone, including the patient, in certain cases a patient's physician, psychologist or social worker may also be required to approve a request made using a release form.

How to Request a Copy of Your Medical Record


  • Print and complete the Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information form:
  • The release form must be completed, dated and signed
  • We ask that you specify what components of your medical records you wish to obtain/release. Often, the discharge summary, operative report and history and physical contain relevant information to suit your needs.
