Emergency Department Expansion Project

About the ANTHC Emergency Services Expansion (ESE)

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

PARKING UPDATE

Starting Friday, June 28, construction crews will begin to take more parking spots offline for construction activities. These parking spots are identified by the red blocks on the above graphic.

Last week, construction crews extended their construction fence and took existing ADA accessible parking spots in front of the Southeast side of the ANMC hospital offline. The 11 impacted ADA accessible spots were relocated to the other side of the parking area. ADA accessible parking in this area is identified by the blue blocks in the graphic below.

Please remain alert and aware of construction activities when driving or walking on campus. Starting Friday, June 28, there will be a path from the Denali Parking Garage for all foot traffic between the garage and the ANMC hospital. 

A majority of the ANMC hospital east side parking lot is fenced off for construction staging. 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).
