Scottsbluff, NE - Effective immediately, Regional West Medical Center’s visitation restrictions related to the flu outbreak have been lifted. Regional West will now return to normal visitation.

Children will again be permitted to visit patients as long as they are attended by an adult visitor at all times while they are in the building or patient room.

As always, limitations on number of visitors may occur based on the condition of the patient and the length of visit may depend on patient request or nursing discretion.

Regional West is still requesting visitors who have symptoms including fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body/muscle aches, chills and nausea or vomiting not to visit the facility.
