About Parking
Visitors may park in Lot #2 and Lot #4. With on-going construction, visitor parking can fill to capacity between 0800 - 1700h, Monday to Friday. If you are able, consider arranging for someone to drive you to your appointment. If you choose to park, give yourself an extra 20+ minutes to ensure you have time to park and get to your appointment.
Please note you do not have to pay for parking when you leave a parking lot within 15 minutes. Revenue from parking fees is used to support patient care through the purchase of hospital equipment.
