Visitation Policy Update: Effective Dec. 1, 2022, Hines VA will allow up to two visitors per day for a maximum of two hours. Inpatient visitors under 14 years of age must be supervised by an adult who is not the patient. Four-hour visits are permitted for CLC residents.

Visitation is not allowed for Veterans receiving inpatient mental health care. Patients with COVID-19 may not receive visitors unless under specific circumstances as determined by a physician. End of Life-visiting exceptions are allowed at the clinical team's discretion. 

Department visitation guidance may vary based on specific unit requirements. Please consult with the individual department for any further needs or limitations. 

All guests must be screened for COVID-19 and wear a medical-grade facemask while inside the facility. Medical-grade masks are available at all entrances for those in need. Social distancing and hand sanitization throughout the facility is required. Vaccination and outdoor masking are strongly encouraged. 

COVID-19 Vaccines and Boosters: All Veterans, spouses and caregivers can get a COVID-19 vaccine and booster at VA by appointment or walk-in clinic. Visit our vaccine information page.
