The VA Western New York Health Care System is changing its visitation policy in Buffalo and Batavia.

Inpatient visitation is now suspended at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. There are exceptions to patients in hospice, palliative or end of life care.

In Batavia, visits are permitted, however it is limited through glass partitions.  

Visitors who are allowed in under those guidelines are expected to visit the facility’s screening station. They are asked to wear a mask, use hand sanitizer and do not eat or drink while visiting.
