Medical Records

Patient privacy is a priority at Holy Family Hospital.

Release of Protected Health Information (PHI) requires patient authorization and must be signed by the patient, or the patient's legal representative (guardian or person with durable power of attorney). If a child is an emancipated minor or age 18 years or older, parents cannot get copies of their child’s medical record.

Requesting a copy of your Medical Records 

  • Per Massachusetts state law, patients must submit in writing a request for the release of their medical record

  • Please allow up to 30 days for a response

  • Please note that medical record information can only be faxed in very few cases

Requests must be made in writing using the form above and mailed to the appropriate site:

Health Information Management Department
70 East St.
Methuen, MA 01844
