Parking Update:
Last week, construction crews significantly extended their construction footprint in the ANMC hospital east side parking lot. Day parking is no longer be available in the ANMC hospital east lot – with the exception of some ADA accessible parking and short-term parking for Emergency Room patient drop-offs.
A traffic flagger is present in the lot to ensure drivers are aware of alternate parking locations and do not park in designated emergency vehicle areas.
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). There is a marked pedestrian path from the Denali Parking Garage for all foot traffic between the garage and the ANMC hospital.
