Requesting Copies of Hospital Surveys
If you wish to obtain survey reports that are the basis for the inspection and complaint summary information, or other records about hospitals from the NYS Department of Health, you must submit a written request under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), via land mail, FAX or e-mail.
An explanation of the FOIL process, and the specific instructions for how to submit a request are available at the Freedom of Information Site.
