Construction To Temporarily Close WGH Main Entrance Starting Monday

From Wabash General Hospital:

Wabash General Hospital’s main entrance will temporarily close on Monday, July 12th, at 7:00 AM due to construction on the front of the hospital.  During that time, the temporary main entrance will be the current employee entrance, which is on the north side of the hospital past the ER entrance and the back door to the laboratory.   

We are extremely excited as construction is underway for our new medical office building that will host several provider offices that is conveniently located adjacent to the hospital.  The addition will provide the setting for a comfortable, modern delivery of oncology, specialty services and primary care services.  Construction brings changes and we ask for you to please be patient as we will keep you as updated as possible.  During renovations, our main entrance will be temporarily closed.  In the meantime, patients and visitors will enter through the current employee entrance.  This entrance will be staffed 24/7 to assist with directions.  We will also have a parking attendant in the parking lot from 6 AM – 2 PM Monday through Friday to assist with parking, directions and any questions you may have.  help direct you to the temporary entrance.  Patients and visitors will be able to park in the parking lot closest to the main entrance, as well as the current main parking area still.  A shuttle service staffed by WGH Volunteers is also available to transport you to and from your vehicle.  Upon arrival, please call 618-263-8682.  Should you choose to not utilize the shuttle, a designated patient drop off area is located on the north side of the new lane used for our mobile services.  Signage will be placed throughout the parking lot to assist with directions.  Please be patient as we expand our campus to provide the best service to you and your loved ones.  Thank you for your understanding. 

The main WGH entrance seen at the middle of this photo will close temporarily on Monday. The temporary entrance will be located to the right of the building and will be marked appropriately.
