All patients and visitors must continue to wear masks and will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms prior to entering. Guests will be asked to observe social distancing at all VA Nebraska-Health Care System facilities.
Visiting hours are based on the needs of the patient. Visitors are encouraged to discuss any special visiting needs with the unit's head nurse. Whenever possible and medically appropriate, the nurse will coordinate special visiting arrangements to meet patient and family needs.
We support a patient-centered medical home model that encourages family and friends to visit during the patient's stay. Consequently, we do not restrict visiting hours, except in the mental health care areas.
