NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS

12/21/2009 - All citizens traveling to the Eastland Memorial Hospital beginning January 4, 2010, should be aware of the disruption of normal traffic flow along Daugherty Street in front of the hospital’s public and emergency room entrances.

Portions of Daugherty Street will be trenched while crews remove and replace water lines from Commerce to Plummer Street during this time.

Persons visiting the hospital for NON EMERGENCY visits should be aware of the street closure and detour via Walnut Street to the Church of Christ parking lot directly across the street from the front hospital entrance. You may also park in the Wellness Center lot on Plummer Street and enter through the Wellness Center.

EMERGENCY traffic ONLY should enter from behind the hospital using the Olive Street entrance and proceed to the Ambulance entrance into the emergency room. Once you have delivered your passenger seeking emergency treatment, you must immediately remove your vehicle to one of the hospital parking areas. This will allow the ambulances free access to and from the E.R.

With good weather, and good luck, this inconvenience should only last a week or so.
