Medical Records | Health Information Management Department

The Magruder Health Information Management department (HIM) keeps records of care and services that you receive at all of ourfacilities. We are committed to keeping your health information private while also appropriately sharing it with those you chose to be involved in your healthcare. When patients need copies of their medical records there are a couple of ways they can access that information.

Patients can access their health information through the Patient Portal on our website, allowing them to view most of their medical information, request and track appointments and scheduled tests, and request prescription refills from a computer or Smartphone with an internet connection. If you would like to connect to your information via our Patient Portal please contact us directly at 419-732-4026.

For those who need hard copies of their medical records, there is a medical records request form on our website that can be completed and sent to Magruder Hospital Attn. HIM 615 Fulton Street, Port Clinton, OH 43452 or emailed to medicalrecordsrequest@magruderhospital.com

If patients are unable to access this form, or do not have access to email, please contact the Health Information Management department directly at 419-732-4026.

Patients coming to pick up medical records they’ve called ahead for, can come Monday - Friday between 8am and 3pm. Let the staff or volunteer at the entrance know you are there to pick up medical records, and HIM staff will bring the copies to you.
