After 12 months of construction, our parking structure is now in use. The Mediterranean-style building provides 742 parking spaces for physicians, employees and volunteers. We expect this will help to better contain much of the medical center traffic and parking. Thank you to those who joined us at our Tailgate Party on Aug. 28. We hope you enjoyed the ribbon cutting ceremony, including a welcome from CEO Deborah Yancer, vintage cars, Dr. N.T. Enloe’srestored buggy, photo slide show of construction, music, food and other activities. Landscaping is being completed and the elevator is expected to be installed by Oct. 15.

We have received a few inquiries this morning regarding our new parking structure at the main medical center campus. We are hopeful this will clarify:

Enloe Medical Center has diligently preserved parking lots and street parking for our patients and patient families that is close to the medical center’s main entrance and Emergency Room. The most convenient patient and visitor parking is available through our free valet parking service at the hospital’s main entrance.

Employees, physicians and volunteers park in our new parking structure as part of our effort to preserve parking that is most convenient for our patients. Those parking in the Enloe Parking Structure have to walk around the hospital to get to the main entrance.
