Changes to Campus Roadways Are Here

The highly anticipated roadway and bridge to the parking garage is complete, and drivers can access the parking garage from the hospital’s main driveway.

 In the past, to park in the garage, visitors would drive down Lake Chabot Road and turn left at the Laurel Grove Hospital entrance. While the walkway to the hospital was easy to use, the drive was often seen as an inconvenience once visitors were already at the hospital entrance. No more!

Patients and visitors can now drive up to the main entrance to the hospital and drive right into the parking garage.

As you drive up the main roadway to the right of the hospital building, you will come to a stop sign and decision point. Here, you can turn left into the Patient Drop-Off/Pick-Up circle, or proceed forward and to the right to enter the garage. From the garage, there is a walkway leading to the Emergency Department entrance to off to the Main Entrance.

The changes highlight the “patient circle” as we like to call it. If you are dropping off or picking up a patient, you simply turn left into the circle. As you exit, you can return to the main driveway or continue up to the parking garage.

The north road is now closed to thru traffic past the Emergency Department. Cars must go either to the circle or to the garage once they reach the stop sign. The road past this spot is open only to ambulance traffic.

 On the west side of the campus, driving in from Stanton Avenue, patients can also park adjacent to the west entrance for easy access to the Imaging Center and the Ground Floor. There is no thru traffic past the West Entrance toward the Emergency Department, as this is now reserved for ambulance traffic only throughout construction.

Patient and visitor parking is still available in the lots near the main entrance to the hospital.

As always, we welcome your thoughts, ideas, questions and comments.
