LAGRANGE – Beginning in February, Parkview LaGrange Hospital will be changing the hours for the building’s main lobby entrance.

Monday through Friday, the entrance will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Weekend hours will be 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. During the off-hours, patients, visitors and co-workers will enter through Emergency Department entrance near the blue emergency tower.

Parkview LaGrange Hospital President Jordi Disler says the change has evolved naturally through their ongoing safety evaluation process. Visiting hours will continue to be open-ended. The only change will be the entrance to be used. When the main entrance is closed, everyone will come in through the emergency entrance, where they will be asked to sign in and will receive a visitor’s tag.

The new hours will take effect Monday, Feb. 4, 2019. Signage at the main entrance will direct people to the Emergency Department entrance when the main lobby is closed.
