How to access your medical or health information
Everyone treated at one of our facilities has a health record. These records contain documents such as reports from care providers, test results, treatments, and pharmacy information. Health or medical records can be paper based, electronically generated or a combination of both.

You or your authorized representative can request access to or copies of your medical or record by completing an authorization form or sending a letter and submitting it in person or by mail to the Health Records Department at the location where you received care.

| How can I request corrections to the information in my medical or health record? |
| If you believe there is incorrect information in your medical or health record, you can write to the Health Records Department at Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare. They will work with you to address your concerns. |
| Is there a fee to send copies of my medical or health records to another care provider? |
