Unless they are part of a historical archive you may never be able to get them. Hospitals are only required to keep records for five or seven years from the last admission. The only exception is for a child, they must keep them for seven years after the child reaches 18 years of age. This is for lawsuit purposes. If the person was born in 1943, that would be 1968-1969. I'm sure the law was different in the 1940's, 1950's but I'm pretty sure they weren't required to keep them indefinetly back then. The new HIPPA regulations require records of those under 18 at the time be kept for 21 years and all others are 7 years. 1974 was the first year most started to make the move to microfische, but I would think the older records are likely destroyed.
