As a client or former client of The Family Institute, you have the right to request your medical records.
- We retain records for adults for 7 years after the date of their last session.
- We retain records for children for 7 years after the date of their 18th birthday or 7 years after the last date of service as an adult, whichever is later.
- If you were seen in treatment with someone else, such as couple or family therapy, we are required by law to obtain the consent of all persons currently over the age of 12 who participated in the therapy to release the record.
To request medical records, complete this Medical Records request document and email it to medicalrecords@family-institute.org.
The process to complete a medical records request typically takes about two weeks. In certain cases, this may take longer.
