Catawba Valley Health System

Medical Center

Since 1967, Catawba Valley Medical Center has built strong relationships with the people, businesses and communities throughout the Catawba Valley. As the region’s largest not-for-profit community hospital, it is our mission to improve the health status of the Catawba Valley.

Our goal is to offer high-quality health-care services from a caring staff dedicated to improving the collective health of the community we serve. We exist to heal and comfort patients, to promote and foster a healthier Catawba Valley, and to assure access to health care to all who need it — not to create profits and return dividends to shareholders.

By continuing to work together, we can improve the overall health status of the Catawba Valley and make our community an even better place to call home.

Catawba Valley Medical Center is proud to be accredited by The Joint Commission.

Visitation

Visitors are always welcome at Catawba Valley Medical Center (CVMC) however the comfort and care of patients is our foremost concern. Clinical restrictions may be imposed on a patient’s visitation rights. We discourage anyone from visiting if they are not feeling well themselves. Note: during times of high respiratory illnesses, visitation guidelines may be adjusted from time to time. Special circumstances, including compassionate care visits, will be evaluated by leadership. Please ask your nurse for current guidelines. CVMC shall allow a clergy member to visit any patient admitted to the hospital who requests or consents to be visited by a clergy member, including during a declared disaster or emergency.

To facilitate healing, we ask that visitors keep noise levels to a minimum. If you find the noise level in or around your room disturbing, please let your nurse know. We ask that visitors observe health laws requiring proper dress, including shoes and shirt, when visiting patients.

If you feel your visitation rights have been violated and staff responses have not resolved concerns, complaints may be filed with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Health Service Regulation. Contact information is provided on page 15 of the patient guide.

Catawba County ordinance prohibits smoking on all county property so please obey the ‘No Smoking’ policy on all hospital property. See Tobacco Free Campus below.
