Visiting Hours
 At
Valley View Regional Hospital we strive to keep visiting policies as reasonable
as possible to allow ample time for visiting with friends and family, while
maintaining the highest quality of care for our patients.
The visiting hours in general
nursing units are from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and are strictly observed. (In
specialized units such as the Intensive Care Unit, visiting times are different.

lobby are locked at 9:30 p.m. and remain locked until 5:00 a.m. After
visiting hours, entrance into the hospital will only be accessible through the
Emergency Room. Entry will be solely permitted to hospital personnel, law
enforcement officers in uniform, and patients' family members who are given
permission by physicians or hospital administration.
Children over two years of age
may visit in general nursing units as long as they are accompanied by a
responsible adult at all times.
