According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Pennsylvania Department of Health, face masks must be worn in health care facilities.

LVHN requires all visitors to wear a face mask in our hospitals and health care settings at all times regardless of vaccination status.

These guidelines are in place for the safety of our patients, visitors and colleagues. Wearing a face mask helps protect those who may be more vulnerable to COVID-19.
