Please allow extra travel time for heavy traffic and limited parking.
Construction of our new Emergency Department and limited parking in the area could cause significant delays. Please allow plenty of time before your appointment to get here safely and to park your vehicle.
If it is possible and convenient, patients can be dropped off at the Women's/Adult entrance before parking the car.
If you're experiencing a delay getting to your appointment, please call your clinic to let them know.
