Medical Records
The Health Information Management Department is to here to assist all patients in obtaining their healthcare related information. To ensure your privacy, McKenzie Health System will only release medical records to the person receiving treatment or their legal representative in accordance with federal laws.
How to Request Medical Records
We are excited to announce MHS is using new technology to share diagnostic images with our patients and their providers. Instead of receiving a CD to insert in their computer, patients and/or their providers may receive access to a HIPAA-compliant web-based cloud platform for diagnostic images using a web browser. When requesting diagnostic images each patient MUST have their own email address including children. Parents and children cannot share an email address.
