The Medical
Records office is located in the basement of TSHC. Here, the medical
records of nearly 40,000 students are stored. Medical records contain
complete records of each visit to the health center, health history
forms, documentation of any shots, and copies of reports from any
diagnostic studies (lab, x-rays, EKGs etc.).
Medical records of patients 18 years of age or older are kept
strictly confidential. The information may not be released to
any third party, including parents, without the written consent
of the patient unless required by law or court order*. Medical
records can be picked up or mailed after patients sign a Medical
Records Release Form (pdf). Please note that we do not have a “blanket” release
form; each request is only valid for up to 90 days.
*State laws require reporting of certain communicable diseases
to the Health Department, such as AIDS, Tuberculosis, Syphilis,
all cases of Hepatitis, etc.
