Conducting Business on LVHN Property

Since the LVHN mission is to care for our community, we want to provide an orderly campus for easy access to our patients and their families. As a result, we need to limit access vendors have to public areas:
Vendors are limited to one (1) hour in public areas such as café, lounges, lobby and hallways.
Vendors are prohibited in patient care areas unless accompanied by LVHN Staff.

In addition, the Vendor is prohibited from using LVHN resources such as telephones and computers unless vendor is doing LVHN business under the supervision of LVHN employees.

Food/Catering Services

Vendors are permitted to sponsor food for any event, meeting, or occasion as long as LVHN’s contracted food services provider, Sodexho, is used. Please visit Sodexo’s catering website.

Smoking

Smoking is prohibited on all facility grounds inside or outside, including parking lots and cars located in the parking lot.

Wireless Devices (Cell Phones)

Wireless device use is prohibited in patient care areas. Wireless device use is permitted in common non-clinical areas (i.e. cafeteria, lounges, lobbies).
