The Marketing & Community Relations Department at Sierra View District Hospital is happy to assist the media in getting timely and accurate information for news stories. This department is here to help coordinate interviews with staff, patients and their families, and doctors on our medical staff. The Marketing & Community Relations Department is also your resource—along with this Web site—for general hospital news and information.

From time to time, a member of our department may contact the media regarding a possible news story or breaking development here at the hospital. Likewise, we encourage all media members who may have a health-related story in mind to contact our department. It’s our goal to work together with the media to provide the public useful information on the latest at Sierra View.

Visiting Sierra View

We’re happy to accommodate media campus visits at any time, as long as a member of the Marketing & Community Relations staff 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 facility.

Additional Guidelines:
Even if contacted first by a patient family, all media visits to SVDH must be coordinated through the Marketing & Community Relations Department.

Federal law and SVDH policy require that a signed “Consent to Photograph” form be completed by a patient prior to any photographs being taken. 

Media members must be accompanied by a SVDH 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. If it is not possible to get a face-to-face interview with a patient, our department will attempt other avenues, such as a phone interview or at-home visit after the patient is discharged.

These regulations include all Sierra View District Hospital-owned and operated facilities.
