What is LVHN's hospital and outpatient visitation policy regarding COVID-19?
During the COVID-19 crisis, we understand how difficult visitation restrictions may have been, but our efforts helped slow the spread of infection in our community. As we continue to see declines in the number of COVID-19 cases across our region, we are ready to welcome back visitors into select areas to provide support and companionship to our patients.
Visit Patient and Visitor Information for the most current policies about:
- Hospital and inpatient visitation
- Outpatient appointment information
- Outpatient visitation for oncology patients receiving treatment
- Visitation for clergy
- Hospital visitor screening
- Surgery waiting room
Smoke-free facilities
All LVHN facilities – including all buildings, parking lots and grounds at LVH–Hazleton – are completely smoke-free. This policy not only applies to all visitors, but all patients and hospital staff. Any visitor smoking on the hospital property will be asked to refrain from doing so. We appreciate your cooperation.
Our aim, by becoming a smoke-free organization, is to protect and improve the health of our staff, patients and visitors, both smokers and nonsmokers.
