From Garage: The lower-level garage has ADA-accessible elevators to the Health Care Center lobby. Elevators are located at the center of the garage entrance opposite the water side. Signage is available to assist.

From Outside Lot: You may use the side entrance to the Health Care Center which is ADA accessible. Please note that it is approximately 175 feet from the parking by Building 5 to the side entrance of Building 6 and an additional 150 feet from the side entrance to the main check in area once inside.

Garage parking: We strongly urge patients with mobility challenges to park in the lower-level garage and use the elevator to enter the Health Care Center lobby.

Please note that shuttle buses from assisted-living/other facilities may be too tall to enter the garage—arranging alternative transportation is recommended.

Outside parking: Patients parking outside in handicap spaces next to former Marine Hospital (Building 5) and using side entrance to Health Care Center (Building 6): Please note that the distance from those spots to the Health Care Center check-in desk is approximately 325 feet.

Wheelchair availability: Wheelchairs are available at the check-in desk for patient use.

Please arrive with someone who can come to check-in and bring the wheelchair to the patient, as our staff are not permitted to provide this service.

No. All check-in procedures remain the same. Front desk staff will be positioned to assist patients entering from the alternate entrances. The elevator will take patients to the main check-in area and there will be staff available at the side entrance to assist patients.

Portland Fire Department has completed a review of the planned front entrance closure. Emergency vehicle access will occur through the side entrance of the Health Care Center.

No. Health Care Center hours remain the same during this temporary front entrance closure.

No. All appointments will proceed as scheduled unless patients are otherwise notified.
