A parking update for patients and visitors:

The front hospital parking lot will close for paving and striping beginning around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, August 8. Work may continue into Sunday, August 9.

During the closure, patients and visitors will be directed to the associate parking lot behind the hospital and will enter through a temporary entrance. Signs will be posted along the way, and a staff member will be available at the entrance to help with directions inside the hospital.

Saturday was selected to help minimize disruptions to patient appointments. Please see the attached map for the Phase 1 parking and entrance changes.

Please note that this work is weather dependent.

Did you know Ascension St. Vincent has four freestanding emergency departments and many urgent care locations across Indiana?

When you or a loved one needs care, knowing where to go can help you get the right treatment—faster.

Read our latest blog to learn the difference between the emergency room and urgent care and find the best option for your care needs.

Visit the ER for serious illness or injuries when you need emergency care. Visit urgent care for minor injuries or illnesses that need same-day care.
