Two family members may visit at the bedside if patients are in private rooms. If patients are in semi-private rooms, one visitor at a time is permitted per patient. Visitors under the age of 18 are not permitted. Waiting rooms are open to one family member per patient. Masks must be worn and social distancing is required. Various departments have specific restrictions. For detailed information, click here.
Masks Required at all Heritage Valley Facilities
Heritage Valley Health System requires all individuals to wear a mask at our hospitals, outpatient facilities, and physician practices, regardless of vaccination status. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has emphasized that its new masking recommendations for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not apply to health care settings. By wearing a mask at our facilities, you are helping us keep our patients, staff, and visitors safe and healthy!
