Faxing to Griffin Hospital — FAQ
The right number depends on which office should receive the document. The referring provider's office often already has the correct Griffin Hospital fax on file. That one verification keeps sensitive pages out of the wrong queue. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this sensitive.
Griffin Hospital does not publish a single fax for the whole hospital. As a community hospital, it splits incoming faxes across medical records and the individual clinics. Ask for the department you actually need to get the right number. Which line is right depends on the office, not the hospital as a whole.
Put the patient's full name, date of birth, and medical record number on every page. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Griffin Hospital department and include a number staff can call. That routing detail is what lets Griffin Hospital reconnect the documents if they separate. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
Faxes reach Griffin Hospital whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by office. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours. Time-critical documents are handled around the clock by the clinical teams. Routine copies follow the office's normal queue rather than jumping ahead.
Submit a signed release-of-information form to the medical records office. Griffin Hospital will tell you where to fax or upload it. Once processed, they release the records to you or the party you named. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
