To help ensure a smooth transition during the beginning phases of construction, several patient-facing changes will take effect beginning Tuesday, April 7, 2026. The south corridor of the hospital, from radiology to the laboratory, will not be accessible for approximately one month’s time. Employees will be available to assist patients in navigating through the hospital.
Key Updates for Patients and Visitors:
Direct Admits/Emergency Department:
- This will not affect the Emergency/Admitting entrance in any way.
- For emergencies, always report to the Emergency Department.
- Direct admission patients will enter through the Emergency/Admitting entrance and register at patient registration. A St. Anthony employee will assist them to their next destination.
Laboratory Patients:
- 6:00 – 3:00 p.m.: Register at the St. Anthony Clinic for labs.
- After 3 p.m.: Register at patient registration (enter through Emergency/Admitting entrance). Patients will then be assisted to the laboratory or labs will be drawn in the emergency department based on staffing.
Radiology Patients:
- No changes. Patients should continue to register at patient registration (enter through Emergency/Admitting entrance).
Clinic Patients:
- No changes. Patients should register at the clinic and enter through the blue canopy entrance on the east side of the first floor of the hospital.
During weekends and after hours (9:00 p.m. – 5:00 a.m.), all patients should enter through the emergency/admitting entrance.
All external vendors and community partners have been notified of these updates to ensure continuity of care and services.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our patients, visitors, and community as we complete this important campus-wide improvement effort. Regular updates will continue to be shared as construction progresses.
