I have a relative who was a Camarillo State Hospital patient. How do I find out more information about him or her?
Answer
Unfortunately, we do not have patient records here at the university. They were either forwarded on with the patient if they transferred to another facility, or went to the Department of Developmental Services in Sacramento which oversaw the hospital when it closed.
You might be able to obtain the records by contacting DDS, especially if you are a close relative. To contact them click here.
