Accessing your medical records

Medical records are a key part of your health history and include visit summaries, test results, doctor’s notes and treatment reports. You can request copies for personal use or to share with another health care provider.

CHI Memorial now offers an online patient record request tool, which is easy to use and free. You'll need to verify your identity by uploading a photo of your driver's license, which you can take with your phone or computer. 


If you prefer to get your records in person or by mail, please complete one of these two forms:
