Getting a Copy of Your Records
Although your medical records are
the physical property of SHS (or the facility that compiled them),
you can submit an Authorization for Disclosure of Medical Records
to
access or obtain a copy of your records. SHS has a seven-year record
retention policy; your records are destroyed seven years after you
graduate.
There is no cost to receive a copy of your medical records if you are sending
or taking the records to another health care facility, if you are taking a
copy for your personal records, or if you need them for school-related purposes.
To pick up medical records yourself, you need to show proper identification.
Otherwise, we'll mail them to you.
To release information from your records regarding alcohol or other drug assessments/treatments,
or HIV/AIDS testing or treatment, special permission is required.
For more information, contact
the SHS Medical Records Department at (414) 288-7184.
