MCE emergency room entrance, parking changes Dec. 12-14

Medical Center Enterprise is preparing for many upcoming construction projects in the coming months, including two projects this weekend.

Between Dec. 12 and 14, the patient parking lot located across the street from the hospital is being completely restriped to create a better flow of traffic for patients and visitors.

Parking will be blocked off in sections but alternate parking will be available close to the entrance to the hospital. Also, during equipment installation, all patients and visitors will be asked to enter through the emergency room entrance through a door marked Emergency until installation is complete.

Once installation is complete, all visitors can enter through the main entrance, located under a sign that says Hospital once again. All hospital services will continue as usual during these projects, but visitors and patients are advised to follow signage and instructions.

This construction is all part of a $1.3 million renovation project that will create a new, modernized look for MCE. Construction has already begun on the Medical Centers third floor, the medical inpatient floor and future plans include the remodeling of the second floor patient rooms.

Some projects that have already been completed are the addition of new flooring for the main lobby and the emergency room, as well as an addition of a multi-purpose classroom in the lobby of the Womens Center.
