ANTHC is moving forward with construction for Phase 1 of the ESE project, which includes floors 1-3 and renovations to the existing Emergency Department. Improvements that will come with the expansion of floors 1-3, include:

• 21 additional Emergency Department patient care spaces
• 12 new Clinical Decision Unit beds for observation
• 15 additional behavioral health treatment space
• 10 new surgery recovery bays
• New, dedicated drive through ambulance entrance
• Core and shell design necessary to build floors 4-6

ANTHC is also moving forward with designing floors 4-6 as we seek additional funding to support construction of Phase 2, which includes:

• 60 new inpatient beds;
• Private inpatient rooms (converting from semi-private);
• 32 new adult inpatient beds; and
• Helipad to enhance trauma services.

While we have a lot of work ahead, we are making significant strides to improve the services we provide.

Construction and Parking Updates

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Construction crews have worked on demolition of the east side ANMC hospital exterior canopy.

Starting Monday, May 13, crews will begin demolition of the former Dental entrance octagon. While crews continue demolition on these structures there will be considerable noise, as crews are using a jackhammer attached to an excavator to demo the sidewalk and foundations.

PARKING UPDATE

A large portion of the ANMC hospital east side parking lot is fenced off for construction staging. Please remain alert and aware of construction activities when driving or walking on the east side of campus. The remaining ANMC hospital east lot parking spots are reserved for patients. Additional parking locations include: the ANMC Patient Housing Parking Garage (north of the hospital), the Denali Parking Garage (east of the hospital), and the Flattop Mountain Parking Garage (south of the hospital).
