Important update regarding the parking facilities at our Community Living Center (CLC). Please take note of the following changes to ensure a smooth visit to our campus.

Starting Monday, October 6, 2025, the parking lot located on the east side of the campus, adjacent to the Community Living Center, will be closed for parking until further notice. This closure is necessary as we are embarking on an exciting and crucial project—installing a temporary emergency department trailer in this area. This initiative is part of our efforts to remodel and enhance the main building's emergency department to better serve our community.

Alternative Parking Options
While the CLC parking lot is unavailable, we encourage patients and visitors to make use of alternative parking options:
• Main Parking Lot: Situated directly north of the CLC parking lot, this area remains open and accessible for parking.
• Parking Garage: Additional parking is available in our parking garage, providing ample space for our visitors.

We understand that these changes may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption to your routine. Our team is committed to minimizing any impact and ensuring that our facilities remain accessible and efficient for everyone.

We will keep you updated on the progress of the emergency department remodel and provide timely information regarding the reopening of the CLC parking lot. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this period of improvement.
