Reminder: Temporary Emergency Services Department now open
As construction continues to happen elsewhere in the hospital, the Temporary Emergency Services Department (ESD) opened last September. Patients should present to the Temporary ESD, located on the southeast side of the hospital.
Access to the Temporary ESD is from the Diplomacy Drive entrance. The Tudor Centre entrance is for emergency vehicle access only. The former Emergency Room entrance is closed for construction.
Parking Update:
Most of the ANMC hospital east parking lot is fenced off for construction activities. Day parking is no longer available in the ANMC hospital east lot, except for limited ADA accessible parking. The remainder of available parking in this area is reserved for ESD patients.
Staff are not permitted to park in this area.
Employees who regularly park in designated patient parking areas will be ticketed and their supervisor will be notified — resulting in the possibility of corrective action.
Additional parking locations include COB Overflow Lot, East Inuit Lot, ANMC Patient Housing Parking Garage (north of the hospital), Denali Parking Garage (east of the hospital), and Flattop Mountain Parking Garage (south of the hospital). There is a marked pedestrian path from the Denali Parking Garage for all foot traffic between the garage and the ANMC hospital.
