Weather permitting, work will start the following weekend of July l6-19, which will affect access and traffic flow in various areas of the campus. Cones, barricades and signs will be posted to further direct patients and visitors during future phases of work. Appropriate emergency, transportation, city and county entities have also been properly notified for each phase of work and informed of alternate route and access points.
The public is also reminded that the main lobby doors into the hospital remain closed to visitors and patients. Anyone in need of emergent health care should go immediately to the emergency department (ED), located nearest to the Regency Park entrance. All visitors and outpatients should enter the hospital at the “Outpatient” sign/entrance to have a temperature check and be screened for COVID-19 symptoms.

Screening will occur at the individual offices.
Masks are still mandatory in all health care settings, per current CDC guidelines.
