Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital - Visiting Hours

Last updated March 2023

Because We Care, Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital is operating with modified visitation guidelines until we are able to safely implement additional opportunities for visitation.

Visiting Hours: 8am - 9pm
9pm- 8am: One overnight visitor allowed

Visitation Policy for COVID-19 patients and PUI of COVID-19:

  • COVID-19 positive and PUI patients will be limited to one (1) designated visitor until the patient is no longer in isolation.
  • This includes Labor & Delivery/Family Maternity Center COVID-19 positive patients. Doulas are not included in the visitor count.
  • Visitors for COVID-19 positive patients or patients suspected of having COVID-19 must put on a new mask to exit the facility and must leave the facility immediately after visitation. The visitor should not stop at the cafeteria, gift shop, or visit any other patients.
  • Exemptions may be made for end of life visitation at nursing leadership discretion.
  • COVID-19 Pediatric patients or suspected of having COVID-19, only 1 parent/guardian at a time in the room is allowed.
  • Clergy are allowed to visit in addition to the approved visitor.
  • Visitors for COVID-19 positive patients or patients suspected of having COVID-19 are not allowed to eat or drink in patient rooms.

General Visitation Rules:

  • All visitors are required to stop at reception, share a photo ID along with their destination, and receive a photo visitor badge.
  • Visitors are encouraged to wear a mask and observe social distancing guidelines while inside a Sentara facility.
  • Visitors will only be allowed if they do not have symptoms of respiratory infection (fever, cough, shortness of breath).
  • Please read the additional safety guidelines if visiting a COVID-19 patient or patient suspected of having COVID-19.
  • Visitors entering the facility between 7pm - 8:30am will need to use the Emergency Department Entrance.
  • Any visitor who is not following the Visitor Guidelines will be asked to leave without visiting.
  • Please limit congregating in waiting rooms. We request that visitors remain in patient's room if possible to free up space in waiting rooms.
  • If a waiting room is at capacity, you may be asked to wait outside of the building or in your vehicle.
  • Social distancing and masks are required at all times in the hospital regardless of vaccination status, except when eating or drinking while socially distanced.
  • Visitors 12 and under are prohibited from visiting in ICU.
  • Visitors of patients who have AGP's (aerosol generating procedures) have a risk of exposure and should understand the risk prior to visitation. Please communicate with the patient's nurse.
  • Each department may have specific guidelines around how many visitors are allowed at a given time and this may change as patient and/or community needs arise.
