Are you a veteran requesting retired medical records?
Veterans may request copies of their military medical or dental records through the National Archives at St. Louis at
https://www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel.
These records are retired according to the last date of treatment and shipped to the
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri. If you need a copy of your records, you must request them directly from the NPRC (using a Standard Form 180). When you request medical records from the NPRC, you must provide them with the sponsor's Social Security Number or military number if prior to 1971. Be as specific as you can about the date and location of your last period of treatment. This will aid the NPRC in locating your medical records. The address for the NPRC is as follows
