- Ohio Revised Code 149.43 grants any person the right to inspect a public record at any reasonable time, and, upon request, to receive copies of a public record, at cost, and within a reasonable period of time. Public records do not include patient medical records or other records that are exempt.
- No specific language is required to make a request of public records; however, the requester must at least identify the records requested with sufficient clarity to allow Morrow County Hospital to identify, retrieve and review the records.
- The request does not need to be in writing and the requester does not have to provide his or her identity or the intended use of the requested public record.
- Public records are to be available during regular business hours and must be made available within a reasonable period of time.
- If Morrow County Hospital denies the request of any public records or any part of a public record, such denial must include a legal explanation.
- If portions of a record are both public and exempt, the exempt portions are to be redacted and the rest to be released with a supporting explanation regarding the redacted portions.
- Those seeking public records will be charged ten cents ($.10) per page. The charge for records downloaded to compact disc is one dollar ($1) per disc. If making copies; however, records transmitted electronically, if feasible, are free to the requester.
- Please direct requests to the Morrow County Hospital Administration Office – (419) 949-3182.
