Visiting Kaweah Health

We're happy to accommodate media visits on Kaweah Health campuses, as long as a member of the Marketing & Public Relations Department is notified prior to the reporter arriving at our facility. We also ask that media members become familiar with HIPAA regulations prior to entering our facilities.

Additional Guidelines

Even if contacted first by a patient family, all media visits to Kaweah Health must be coordinated through the Marketing & Public Relations Department.

Federal law and Kaweah Health policy require that a signed "Consent to Photograph" form be completed by a patient prior to any photographs being taken. There are areas of our hospital where photography is not allowed. Please confer with a member of our Marketing & Public Relations Department for further explanation of these areas.

Media members must be accompanied by a Kaweah Health staff member at all times while on the hospital campus.

Please be advised that while every effort will be made to secure patients for interviews, often times this is not possible due to privacy and/or health issues. We will do our best to accommodate your request.

These regulations include all Kaweah Health-owned and operated facilities.
