Visiting Sonoma Valley Hospital

Last updated Monday April 3, 2023

Masking strongly recommended for all SVH locations

We know how vital visitors are to our patients while they are healing. Sonoma Valley Hospital entrance screening is no longer required but we ask all visitors to assess their health status before entering our facility. Proof of vaccination is no longer required for SVH visitors.

Masking for visitors is strongly recommended and masks will be available at all entrances.

Visitors

Visitors are to go directly to a patient’s room and remain there until they exit the facility.

Visitors are not allowed for suspected or confirmed COVID positive patients unless for end of life and/or extenuating circumstances and approved by attending physician.

• Inpatients: Up to TWO visitors per patient may be present in a patient’s room at a given time.
• Emergency Department: Space permitting, up to TWO visitors per patient for the duration of the ED stay will be allowed.
