Parking

  • The new main entrance for patients, visitors and employees to park will be the second driveway past the hospital and will be clearly marked.
  • Handicapped parking will be available at the first driveway closest to the hospital and will also be clearly marked.
  • Parking will be limited. Please note that use of the parking lot is restricted only to Hospital patients, visitors and employees and will be monitored. Any other vehicle is subject to be towed at the owners expense.

    Entrances

    The main entrance to the hospital will be in a new temporary location. On the parking lot side of the hospital the entrance door is close to the designated handicap parking. As soon as you come in the door, you will be at patient registration. Volunteers will be available to answer questions and give direction.

    The Emergency Room entrance will be relocated to the entrance facing Horace Nye Home and will be restricted only to ambulance use. If you have an emergency and come by car, use this entrance, but please do NOT park at this entrance.


    What the Project Means for the Community

    The renovation and expansion project at ECH will not only enhance patient care, but also increase the services available to the community. This project will include the renovation and expansion of the Emergency Room, improving privacy for patients, new state-of-the-art patient rooms, a family waiting area, and a workroom for EMTs. The project also includes adding such services as cardiac rehabilitation, chemotherapy treatment and mobile services for MRI and PET scanning.

    Other highlights of the project include:

  • A new main entrance with a spacious lobby, confidential patient registration area and quick access to the Laboratory;
  • A designated space for the specialty clinics, including two procedure rooms;
  • More space for the inpatient sub-acute rehabilitation program to add more equipment and treat more patients;
  • Reconfiguration of the Radiology Department to be more patient-friendly and more efficient for staff;
  • More space for the Laboratory to add equipment and allow for storage; and
  • A multi-purpose education room for meetings, trainings and special events.
