During construction, there will be a new, temporary patient entrance to the Emergency Room (ER). The entrance is clearly marked with a large "Emergency" signs on the outside of the Building (Building A). Once inside, signs will guide patients and visitors directly to the ER.

Valet parking is available at the new, temporary patient entrance to the ER (see above for Valet parking information).

Important Information for Maternity Patients:

• For Patients Arriving from 5AM until 8 PM:
  Maternity Patients arriving at the hospital during regular business hours have the option of parking in the Parking Garage and going directly to the Maternity Department OR if their labor is advanced, they may use the new, temporary Patient ER Entrance (located in Building A – see map below) and follow the instructions below.
• For Patients Arriving from 8PM until 5AM:
  Maternity patients arriving at the hospital after 8 p.m. should use the new, Patient ER Entrance. Once inside the building, they will find The "Stork Line" telephone located inside the entrance doors on the right-hand wall. If patients do not see this phone and walk into the ER waiting area, there is another "Stork Line" across from the triage desk.
• Patients should use the Stork Line telephone to call the Maternity Department. A staff member will arrive shortly with a wheelchair for the trip to the Maternity Department.
   

PLEASE NOTE: Valet parking, available at the Patient ER Entrance, will allow each Maternity patient and her significant other to remain together once arriving at the hospital. After hours, a member of Southwest General's Protection Services Department will assist with parking so that moms-to-be are never left alone.
