For a complete list of the restricted visiting guidelines, visit https://www.va.gov/southeast-louisiana-health-care/policies/.
Restricting visitors in our facility to only those who are medically necessary for the patient’s care, and for compassionate or end-of-life care, allows us to better protect our most vulnerable patients from exposure to COVID-19.
Your best protection from COVID-19 is to wear a mask, wash hands frequently, maintain physical distance and get a COVID-19 vaccination and booster.
For questions about vaccines or to make an appointment, contact VA at 1-800-935-8387 extension 72819 Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
