Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
After careful consideration of the safety of our patients and workforce, GVMC has made the very difficult decision to implement additional VISITOR RESTRICTIONS effective at noon on Monday, March 23rd.
This visitor restriction policy has a few exceptions.
- One essential caregiver will be permitted in specific situation such as essential caregivers and end-of-life.
- Pediatric patients may have up to two visitors and both must be parents, guardians or caregiver.
- OB patients may have one visitor; this visitor must remain with the patient throughout the stay and will not be granted re-entry if they leave campus.
- Emergency room patients will have no visitors. No visitors will be allowed to accompany the patient into the exam room unless absolutely necessary. If an essential caregiver is needed for assistance, only one person may accompany a patient and the caregiver will be asked to wait in their vehicle.
Visitors will not be permitted in the waiting area. Phone numbers will be obtained at the ED entrance screening location. Family members and visitors will be contacted via phone with updates regarding the patient.
Please note that if you are cleared to visit, once you leave the facility, you are NOT allowed back into the hospital. Anyone entering will be appropriately screened and temperature taken.
At Greenbrier Valley Medical Center, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
