The map below highlights the availability around the SOUTH area of the clinic. Employees will still be able to use the south clinic entrance and park in the Zion Church lot (40 spots only); also the current walking path between Zion and FL will be moved to the west.

Rehabilitation patients will continue to use half of the SOUTH lot, so no employee parking should be in that area. The new Highway 65 / 23 entrance will also open allowing patients to choose to park right for hospital services or left for clinic services.

Any questions or issues should be directed to Mark Vizenor (x3475).

Please note, this notification is weather dependent.
