You may obtain a copy of your SHCS medical records at anytime. To request a copy of your medical records or to give another person access to your records, patients can submit an Authorization for Release of Medical/Billing Information online, by fax, by mail, or in-person. However, many of your records are already available on the MyHealthRecord Patient Portal and do not require prior authorization to view.
