LOMA LINDA >> As of April 12, patients and visitors to Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) and Children’s Hospital are now being provided with complimentary valet parking due to the reconfiguration of the front entrance to the hospital.
The current patient parking area in front of the main hospital has been closed in preparation for the construction of the new adult hospital and Children’s Hospital expansion projects. This has also closed the main entrance to Children’s Hospital.
The patient parking structure located on the northeast corner of Barton Rd. and Campus St. is in the final stages of construction and is expected to open for self-parking in June. Complimentary valet service to patients and visitors will be offered until then.
For those coming to the LLUMC campus, vehicles must enter via Prospect Ave. and will be guided to either valet parking or the pickup and drop off area in front of the adult hospital.
Valet attendants will be parking cars seven days a week while the main entrance doors to the hospital are open from 4:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. They will be retrieving cars 24 hours a day.
Patients and visitors arriving at the hospital between 9:00 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. can enter through the emergency department and self-park in the West Hall parking structure, both located on Campus Street.
Once the new patient parking structure is open, the patient pickup and drop off area will remain the same, and valet will be available for those who choose to use it.
Loma Linda University Health administration appreciates the community’s patience and understanding in the coming months as preparations are made for the official groundbreaking of the new hospitals, which is slated for Sunday, May 22.
