The location where patients and patient-families go to pick-up medical records in person has changed. Patient-families who request to pick-up medical records in-person will now have to go to the new Health Information Management (HIM) office at the 70th and Sand Point Way Administrative Building located at 6901 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle WA 98115.
Please note the medical record request process is not changing, only the location where physical copies can be picked up or record request paperwork can be dropped off. For more information on how to request medical records, visit the Health Information Management and Medical Records Requests page on Seattle Children’s website or call 206-987-2173. HIM office hours remain the same in their new location at 70th and SPW, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
While Seattle Children’s previously used a radiology service called eMix, we recently transitioned to PowerShare Medical Image Upload.
PowerShare offers providers and patients a way to securely load medical images directly into Children’s systems. This new system allows providers and patients access to upload medical images directly, helps improve patient care and reduces dependencies on CDs and DVDs.

Medical ProvidersPositional plagiocephaly, also known as deformational plagiocephaly or nonsynostotic plagiocephaly, is a condition in which an infant develops a flat spot on the back or side of their head.
While this condition is common and arguably harmless, it can be challenging to differentiate it from the more detrimental condition craniosynostosis.
Additionally, recent research has led to some misunderstanding regarding the correlation between plagiocephaly and developmental issues.
Provider News spoke with Dr. Michael Cunningham, medical director of Seattle Children’s Craniofacial Center to gather information for providers diagnosing plagiocephaly and counseling families on this condition. Read full post »
Seattle Children’s will be opening a new Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC) adjacent to the Othello Link light rail station in the Rainier Valley. OBCC is a community clinic that provides medical, dental, mental health and nutrition services to all families, regardless of their ability to pay. OBCC has been committed to delivering equitable health and wellness care to lower-income and ethnically diverse children for nearly half a century. The clinic will be approximately 35,000 square feet to meet the wellness needs of the growing pediatric population in south Seattle and south King County.
With surging rents and rising housing prices leading to gentrification around Seattle’s urban core, the second location will be closer to the 75 percent of OBCC patient families who have moved from the Central District to south Seattle and south King County for more affordable housing.
The original OBCC, located in the Central District, will be renovated to upgrade its clinical facilities and maintain its cultural heritage in the community. The clinic will continue to serve families in the Central District and adjacent neighborhoods, as well as communities to the north and west. Read full post »
