Parking & Transportation
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, the new, large parking lot for our patients and guests opened south of our new hospital. Visitors will once again access parking from the familiar Columbia Rd. and 13th Avenue South entrance.
Valet service will continue at the main entrance under the canopy, while shuttle services for patients and guests will be discontinued with the opening of the new lot.
This milestone means easier access for our community and signals the completion of the core work related to our replacement hospital.
Valet
Complimentary valet parking is available for all patients and guests seven days a week at the main hospital entrance. A valet will park your car and return it at the end of your visit.
Valet hours: Monday - Friday | 5 a.m. – 8 p.m., Saturday & Sunday | 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
When ready to leave, patients/visitors should:
