Request medication records from Brookhaven Hospital
Request medication records from Brookhaven Hospital
You can request Brookhaven medication records when you need a formal copy of medications prescribed, administered, changed, stopped, or reviewed during behavioral health care. Some medication records may already be available in the portal. Others may require a formal records request.
Brookhaven records may include sensitive behavioral health or substance-use treatment information. Some record types may require additional authorization or review before release.
Patient warning, written beside the records window:
“They asked me to sign twice. I thought the first paper was enough. The nurse said the medicine list could leave, but the other note had to stay behind.”
Quick summary
- Check the portal first for medication lists, discharge instructions, and visit summaries.
- Use Medical Records / Health Information Management for formal copies.
- Specify Brookhaven Hospital, date range, and record type.
- Behavioral health or substance-use treatment records may require additional authorization.
- Proxy or caregiver requests may require legal documentation.
- Use the care team, not records processing, for urgent medication safety questions.

Requesting for someone else
If you are requesting Brookhaven medication records for another person, you may need proof of legal authority, proxy access, signed authorization, guardianship, power of attorney, or other documentation.
Some Brookhaven records may still be limited even when you help with care. Health Information Management can explain what can be released and what additional authorization is needed.
Corrections and amendments
If a Brookhaven medication record appears inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask how to request a correction or amendment. Include the date, medication name, what appears wrong, and what you believe the record should say.
