The Release of Information Staff is expert in our patients' rights and their medical records.

Because forms must contain an original signature, e-mailed forms cannot be accepted.

Fees

There is no cost to send copies directly to another health care provider. If copies are for a patient's personal use, photocopying fees may be assessed.
