University of Utah Hospital (U of U Health) — Health Information / Subpoena Desk

Overview of Service of Process at University of Utah Hospital (HIM)

University of Utah Hospital, located at 50 North Medical Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84132, is Utah's premier academic medical center and Level I Trauma Center, operating under University of Utah Health (U of U Health). In personal injury, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, and criminal litigation across the Intermountain West, attorneys frequently subpoena patient medical charts, radiology imaging, itemized billing ledgers, and trauma physicians from U of U Health.

Because University of Utah Hospital is a division of the University of Utah (a state governmental entity), serving a lawsuit versus serving a non-party medical records subpoena involves distinct offices and strict HIPAA and URCP Rule 45 compliance.
