Seeking my childhood medical records

John Faiola Jan 7, 2021 11:53 AM

My hospital told me my childhood records were discarded. Any chance they could be found at another place? My doctor is also gone and the nurse said they were discarded. I really would like the records of my hospital stay for the first two years of life. I was born in St Joseph's Hospital in Lancaster, PA.

Dear Mr. Faiola,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

The Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) published the article Medical Record Retention: What You Need to Know that addresses the topic of medical records retention under Pennsylvania law as of 2017, when the article was written. We suggest that you contact PAMED if you have any questions.

We hope this is helpful.
