We are doing our very best to keep our staff and our Veterans safe. We encourage video visits whenever possible. No persons under the age of 18 permitted.
Children
Due to safety precautions, no children are allowed on site. There are no child-care services in the medical center or at any community clinic.
Inpatient psychiatry
The inpatient psychiatry unit (3A) has unique needs which have necessitated the establishment of encouraged visiting hours from 6-8 p.m. to support the therapeutic structure and environment of the unit. The Substance Abuse treatment unit also has unique program therapies which allow for visitation on Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday. Visitation at alternative times may be arranged with the treatment team if it meets the health care needs of the veteran and the milieu of the unit.
Patients may be visited at the bedside, the unit lounge, the lobby of any patient care building, the Canteen and outside on the grounds.
Flowers for patients are welcome, except in intensive care and oncology units. Gift balloons are also welcome, provided they are mylar. Latex balloons, which can cause allergic reactions, are not permitted anywhere in the hospital.

To respect and ensure patient privacy and confidentiality, visitors may be asked to leave the room during a treatment or during a discussion with the staff.

Visitors who may be ill should wait until their health is better before visiting friends or family at the medical center.
