Visiting Hours and Guidelines

Visitors are important to your recovery, and WVU Hospitals welcomes them. We ask that visitors observe these guidelines.

Visiting hours are from 8 am to 9 pm We recommend no more than two visitors per patient at one time. Children under 14 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

Please do not visit a patient if you have had flu symptoms, particularly a fever, for up to 24 hours before your visit.

Visitors planning to remain at the hospital after 9 pm are required to register and obtain a visitor's badge. The badges are photo-sensitive and expire overnight, so visitors must register each night they are in the hospital. The Welcome desk is on the first floor, east lobby at Ruby Memorial.

Other information

Please observe the hospital's tobacco-free policy. The WVUH complex is a smoke-free facility, including the outdoor areas around the hospital.

While inside the hospital, please keep your cell phone turned off, as it can interfere with important medical equipment.

Cell phones may only be used in these areas:

• the central lobby on the first floor
• near the patient elevators on each floor
• in the Cafeteria on the fourth floor
