Phase 1 of Renovation to First Floor Main Corridor of The Medical Center to Begin December 1

Beginning Thursday, December 1, renovation of The Medical Center’s first floor main corridor will begin. Cosmetic updates such as new flooring, rails and paint as well as modernization of public bathrooms will be included in the renovation. The renovation will be divided into three phases to minimize inconvenience for patients and visitors and to ensure that alternate access routes are available throughout the project. Completion of the entire project is expected in early May.


Phase 1 is estimated to last from December 1 through January 11. During this phase, two public entrances will be closed.


The Outpatient Entrance located on Park Street will be closed. All patient registration normally completed in Outpatient will be moved to the Diagnostic Imaging Center Registration. Patients and visitors coming to The Medical Center for the following services or procedures should use the Diagnostic Imaging entrance located on the High Street side of the campus.



  • Inpatient Registration
  • Endoscopy
  • Lab
  • Cardiac Catheterization and Electrophysiology Labs
  • Private Referral
  • Cardiopulmonary Rehab
  • Wound Management
  • Lactation Consultations

Temporary parking will be designated in the back of the ER parking lot across the street from the Diagnostic Imaging Center on High Street.


The side entrance to the hospital on 2nd Avenue side of campus will be closed. Patients and visitors should enter the hospital through the main entrance of The Medical Center on Park Street.


Two other sections within the main corridor will be closed for renovation. Signage will be posted to direct patients and visitors through alternate routes.
