Health Information Management
The HIM Department is committed to the quality, confidentiality and security of health information. To request medical records, contact an HIM associate during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Our associates will assist you in obtaining copies of your information. By calling ahead to request the information, you may avoid unnecessary waiting.
For continuity of care purposes, records can be sent directly to the healthcare provider you designate which eliminates the need for you to make a trip to our office.

After the form is completed and signed, deliver it directly to the HIM Department or return it via mail with a copy of your photo ID to: Health Information Management Ohio County Hospital PO Box 126 Hartford, KY 42347 or fax to (270) 298-5224 Medical information will not be released over the telephone.
