Parking to change
A major road renovation project this week at Monongahela Valley Hospital temporarily will change where patients park and how they get around on the campus. On Friday and Saturday, visitors will be rerouted around the campus and will be directed to park in alternate areas.
Security personnel will direct visitors to available parking.
On Saturday, hospital discharges may be picked up at the Same-Day Surgery Center, next to the Charles L. and Rose Sweeney Melenyzer Regional Cancer Care Pavilion. Conducting the renovation in this manner will not affect any normal or emergent patient care, hospital officials said. On Sunday, the campus will revert to original traffic patterns and parking.
