Employee drop-off/pick-upYour cooperation is needed. Beginning Friday, Sept. 28, UK Chandler Hospital’s policy HP 10-15, which states that the hospital’s front loop is for patient and visitor use only, will be strictly enforced. Employees may only be dropped off or picked up at the former LexTran bus shelter on Rose Street in front of the Chandler mural, and not on the hospital’s front loop drive. (See map below.) When UK HealthCare’s new parking structure on S. Limestone partially opens Nov. 19, a new shuttle service will begin transporting patients, families and visitors from the structure to UK Chandler Hospital’s main entrance and emergency department. Moving the employee drop-off/pick-up location is necessary to accommodate patient shuttle arrivals and departures and to address concerns expressed by medical center employees about the impact on patients of excessive congestion in the front loop of UK Chandler Hospital. Please note, due to construction there is no room for vehicles to wait for employees. Instead, vehicles may wait at Commonwealth Stadium until the employee is at the pick-up location. This will help minimize congestion at the bus shelter and maximize traffic flow on Rose Street. As an option, employees may also be dropped off or picked up at Commonwealth Stadium and ride the shuttle to the stop located at the front of the Peter P. Bosomworth Health Sciences Research Building (HSRB) on VA Drive. The walk between the HSRB lobby and UK Chandler Hospital’s north lobby takes approximately two minutes via the courtyards between the buildings. During inclement weather, an alternate route through interior hallways provides access to the rear of the hospital near the north lobby. (See map below.) Like Rose Street, VA Drive cannot accommodate waiting vehicles, so drop-offs and pick-ups will not be permitted at the HSRB main entrance. Security will monitor hospital traffic and issue warnings to employees who continue to use either the Chandler front loop or the HSRB drive for pick-up and drop-off. Violators will be subject to regular disciplinary action.
