Arriving at the Hospital
The entrance to the Labor & Delivery unit is located in the North Tower. The North Tower entrances are currently closed with no entry access except for Labor & Delivery patients, who should use the buzzer at the end of the covered walkway connecting Garage 2 with the North Tower. Please note: If you are arriving after 10 p.m., you can still access Labor & Delivery from the North Tower entrance but there will be a wait for security to open the door. If you need quicker access, please go to the Emergency Department entrance, which is located to the right of the North Tower.
