What You Need to Do
Starting on June 1, 2011, your child’s care and a copy of your child’s medical records will be transferred to Phoenix Children’s. If you do not want a copy of your child’s medical records sent to Phoenix Children’s, please call your physician's office. St. Joesph's will keep a copy of your child’s original medical records there at their location.

If you want your child to see the same physician at Phoenix Children’s and you have questions regarding existing or future appointments, please call 602-933-PCMG (7264).

If you want your child to see a new physician after your child’s current physician moves to Phoenix Children’s, you will need to choose another physician. When you decide who that will be, you need to give us written permission to send a copy of your child’s medical records to that new physician. Please call us at [insert phone number] to arrange a medical records release.
- If your child is age 15 or older and St. Joseph’s still has the services you need, you may stay at St. Joseph’s with a new physician. Please call the St. Joseph’s ResourceLink at 877-602-4111 for more information.
