We accept all forms of government insurance from the U.S., Canada and other countries. We also accept Medicare, Medicaid, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), and workers compensation.
Advance care planning
Advance directives are legal documents that allow you to give directions for your future medical care. Advance directives help you protect your right to request or refuse care.
Patient rights and responsibilities
We respect the dignity and pride of each individual we serve. We want our patients to be informed of their rights, responsibilities, and have access to contacts for complaints and grievances.

Spiritual support
We understand that spiritual well-being can be an important part of the healing process for some people. Our hospital partners with the Wise County Chaplains Corps, local ministers who volunteer their time, to offer spiritual support to you and your family.
- How to contact a chaplain - You may request a visit from a chaplain through your nurse, doctor, social worker, or customer service representative. If you would like a visit from your church clergy or denomination, we can also assist you in making those arrangements.
- Our chapel - The Ray Hawkins Memorial Chapel is an interfaith chapel for you, your families and visitors seeking spiritual shelter. Located on our hospital's third floor, the chapel is open 24 hours a day and offers a quiet place for prayer, reflection and meditation.
