Visitor Guidelines

As we move forward together, we continue to have a highly restrictive visitor policy.  However, if you require assistance for outpatient visits and need to have someone accompany you, please limit it to one visitor/companion only over the age of 18.  There will be no visitors to inpatients.  We will allow compassionate exemptions to end of life.  Family members and friends can call to speak to inpatients by calling the operator at 605-336-3230 dial 0 and ask for the inpatient/Veteran by name to be transferred.
