Medical Tower One – First Floor Elevator Lobby CLOSED
As of Monday, July 15, 2024, Medical Tower One, First Floor Elevator Lobby will be closed due to construction. We know this is a highly-trafficked corridor for our patients and visitors. We will work as swiftly as possible to complete the project to lessen the disruption as much as possible.
Jefferson Street and 4th Avenue Update
On Tuesday, August 6, the 4th Avenue entrance from Jefferson Street to the emergency center will be closed. Patients, visitors, & employees will access the emergency center parking deck from 4th Avenue Alley.
Information & Updates…
As part of the new expansion of our ER at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, we have installed a new entrance and waiting area which will help us more efficiently and effectively triage and register patients in our busy ER. It will also provide us more room to ensure social distancing for our emergency patients and the caregivers who accompany them.
The modular unit located in the Emergency Center parking lot is open and serves as the new ‘front door’ to the Emergency Center. Inside the unit, our Registration, Security and Emergency Center team are ready to provide care to patients, as well as assist them into the hospital should more extensive care be needed.
A few things to remember with this traffic update:
- To access the parking deck, employee/physicians, patients and visitors will need to turn onto 4th Avenue Alley from Jefferson Street. All employees, patients and visitors will enter the parking deck from the west entrance facing the Emergency Center. The first floor in the parking deck is reserved for patients and visitors. Employees/Physicians will park on the upper levels.
- Do not open any gate or move any fencing surrounding the construction sites. We understand construction around the Emergency Center is inconvenient. However, those barriers are in place for your safety.
We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance our facility and service to our community.
