Visiting Hours and Guidelines

New Information

Visitors are important to your recovery, and WVU Hospitals welcomes them. We ask that visitors observe these guidelines. In an effort to prevent the spread of flu, West Virginia University Hospitals has established a new temporary visitor policy.

Visiting hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors will be limited to two per patient at any given time. Children under age 18 are discouraged from visiting the hospital. WVUH encourages limiting visitors to immediate family members. No one who has had any flu symptoms for the previous 24 hours should visit the hospitals, particularly those who have had a fever.

All visitors will now be required to register and obtain a visitor's badge before entering patient areas. The badges are photo-sensitive and expire during the course of the day, so visitors must register each day they come to the hospital. The registration desk is on the first floor, east lobby at Ruby Memorial.
