Medical Records

HIM Update

As part of our efforts to enhance efficiency and environmental sustainability, The Valley Hospital's Health Information Management department will be going paperless effective April 1, 2024. All requests for medical records should now be submitted electronically using the links below, as we are no longer accepting paper requests.

Requesting Medical Records

Valley offers an online records request tool that helps us verify your identity by asking for a photo of your driver's license, which you can take via webcam or smartphone.

Diagnostic Images 

In addition to obtaining diagnostic images on a CD, you can view your images directly on your computer or mobile device via Ambra, an image-sharing platform. A link to view and/or download your image(s) will be emailed to you.

Valley has direct image transfer connections with the following organizations. Image requests do not require a CD to transfer images prior to your appointment:

  • NewYork-Presbyterian
  • Cleveland Clinic
  • The Mount Sinai Health System
  • Hackensack Meridian Health, Hackensack University Medical Center
  • Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
  • Weill Cornell Medicine

Images can also be directly shared with your physician or physician's office as needed.

Diagnostic images available include X-ray, CT, PET, MRI, nuclear medicine, breast, and echo images.
