Patient Medical Records

Grande Ronde Hospital is committed to protecting your personal health information while making it available to you, so that you can be an equal partner in your healthcare decisions. You may access your medical records by requesting a copy from our Health Information Management (HIM) Department, or by creating a user account on our online patient portal, MyChart.

Who can access copies of medical records?

  • Adult patients may ask for copies of their own medical records.
  • A parent or legal guardian may ask for copies of their minor child’s medical records. Oregon law defines a minor child as those 14 years old and under.
  • A person with a medical power of attorney may ask for copies of the medical records of someone named in the medical power of attorney (for example, wife, husband or partner, disabled adult).
  • The legal next of kin, as specified on the Death Certificate, may ask for copies of a deceased patient’s medical records.
