The 130,000-square-foot tower, which faces the back side of the medical park, is the new home of the Heart Clinic, emergency department, intensive-care init, mother/baby init, “Expressions from the Heart Gift Shop” and coffee shop, “The Retreat” coffee shop, as well as the new main entrance and lobby.
The changes also mean that, beginning Tuesday, visitors will enter the medical center through the front entrance of South Tower, just southwest of the current entrance. The current front entrance will be used for physician and staff access only. Visitor parking will be located near the front entrance of South Tower.
Patients, families and visitors will have access to the new front entrance from Vernon Street or Vernon Road by taking Medical Parkway to Doctors Drive. This will take patients and visitors directly to the new front entrance and emergency department.
A loop road that connects Vernon Street and Vernon Road to Doctors Drive will take patients and visitors to other locations throughout West Georgia Health’s main campus. There are emergency call boxes in the parking lots for those who need assistance
Demolition of the Georgia Heart Clinic building will begin in mid-June. Access to the Enoch Callaway Cancer Clinic and Community Health Clinic will be restricted during that time to the Medical Drive entrance only. The demolition, which will last about 120 days, will help create additional sparking spaces.
