To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Alabama Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
Copies of all state healthcare facility enforcement actions with monetary penalties imposed by the Department of Public Health. This includes penalties against any type of medical facility, including nursing homes, hospitals, or other outpatient treatment facilities. Records should span between the year 2000 to present, or reach as far back as is readily available. There are certain essential fields necessary: name of facility, location (county, city), date of penalty announcement, and dollar amount of penalty. I'm not in need of the individual documents associated with these corrections, just the penalty data.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.
Sincerely,
André Natta, a citizen of Alabama, in coordination with Siobhan Standaert.

Your record request #23-73 has been submitted successfully.
Thank you for the submission of your request to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
We strive to respond as promptly as possible to all public-records requests we receive consistent with the demands of our agency’s functions as determined by state law.
The nature of your request will dictate how promptly we respond. If your request very clearly identifies a specific, discrete document you are looking for, we will respond more quickly than if your request requires substantial staff time to process. A request will require substantial staff time to process if it requires difficulty in identifying and retrieving documents or taking measures to redact or otherwise withhold legally protected information.
In addition, we are permitted by state law to charge reasonable fees in connection with processing public-records requests. We will notify you in advance of the fees you likely will incur as a result of your request.
As the requester, you can always see the status of your
request by signing into the Alabama Department of Public Health
portal.
If you haven't already signed in, you may need to
activate or setup your account to get started.
Once your account is activated, you can communicate directly with the Alabama Department of Public Health through NextRequest.
