Visitors Guide
In accordance with the State Public Health Officer Order from CDPH, Chino Valley Medical Center is now verifying visitors are fully vaccinated or, for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated visitors, verify documentation of a negative SARS-CoV-2 test from the past 72 hours. Visitors who are visiting a patient in critical condition, when death may be imminent, are exempt from the vaccination and testing requirements of this order. Pursuant to the CDPH Guidance for Vaccine Records Guidelines and Standards, only the following modes may be used as proof of vaccination:
- COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card
- Hard copy of the Vaccination Record Card
- Digital copy of the Vaccination Record Card
- Documentation of COVID-19 vaccination from a health care clinician
- QR code that displays the name, date of birth, vaccine dates, and vaccine type
Chino Valley Medical Center will allow two visitors per patient between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. daily unless otherwise noted. All visitors will be screened and will be required to wear a mask at all times, stay in the patient room, and wash theirs hand frequently. The facility will allow two visitors for ICU patients, however only one visitor is permitted to visit at a time while the the other is asked to wait in the ICU waiting room. ER patients are permitted one visitor but they must sign in through admitting. For the safety of our patients, staff, visitors, and the community, there will be no visitors permitted for COVID-19 or isolation patients at this time.
We encourage loved ones to visit patients and we make every effort to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our patients and visitors. While receiving care, patients have the right to decide who may or may not visit, and those visitors are allowed without regard to race, color, national origin, language, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or socioeconomic status.
Our staff and caregivers understand the important role that visitors and support persons play and every effort is made to ensure that our patients’ support person is embraced as a valued member of the care team.
- To safeguard the comfort of all our patients, visitors are asked to talk quietly and leave promptly when visiting hours have ended.
- The visiting times and/or the number of visitors may be limited in certain circumstances – and vary unit by unit – to protect the health, safety, and privacy of our patients.
- If visitors are not feeling well or have an illness that can be transferred to our patients, please refrain from visiting.
- Visitors must follow infection control precautions, keep noise to a minimum, refrain from taking photographs or videos, and comply with restrictions on smoking, alcohol and illegal substances.
- Before entering and after leaving your loved one’s room, make sure to wash your hands.
- All children must be in the company of a responsible adult and may not be left unattended.
Visiting Hours
Visits from loved ones can be comforting when you are hospitalized. For this reason Chino Valley Medical Center staff members make every effort to provide an environment conducive to the needs of both patients and visitors. Because too many visitors can exhaust you, we recommend that you limit your guests to two at time, and keep their visits to a reasonable length. If young children accompany your visitors to the hospital, they should wait in the main lobby under the supervision of a parent or other responsible adult. Children of patients or siblings under fifteen, however, may usually visit with the approval of a patient’s nurse.
