Requesting charts

Fax Lorna Sasley at 75002 or take a print out of the medical record request to her inbox at her desk in medical records.
charts requested before 1400 hrs will be pulled by MR staff overnight and some should be available the next day as a general rule of thumb.
if charts are from iron mountain, they will take 2 days.
