Health Records

Requests made via e-mail will not be processed. Only general information requests can be handled by telephone. All requests for release of Information from your health record must be made in writing with an ink signature.

Time of Birth

Our most frequently asked question over the Internet has been for time of birth. The retrieval of this information is difficult and time-consuming. For this reason, there is a $100.00 fee required with each written request for time of birth (cheque or money order made payable to the Kirkland and District Hospital). The request must include your mother’s name and date of birth along with your own date of birth and your witnessed ink signature.

Obtaining a Birth Certificate

The Health Records Department can:

  • Protect the confidentiality of your record.
  • Keep your record for 10 years and release it as needed for your continuing care.
  • Allow you to see your own record. There is a fee attached to this service.

The Health Records Department cannot:

  • Tell you who your birth mother is.
  • Tell you your blood type. Please contact your family doctor.
  • Keep track of your immunizations in an organized fashion. This is your responsibility.
