Scheduling & Visitor Restrictions

Valley Baptist Health System recognizes the important role of loved ones and visitors in a patient's healthcare journey. Our visitation policies have recently changed based on careful consideration and consultation with our infection control experts and medical staff. Thank you for understanding our need to take these measures for the safety of all.
