If you choose to self-park, please add at least 30 minutes to your travel time to allow for traffic in the garage. Valet is the recommended parking option.

To self-park at the main hospital parking garage, continue to 59th Street and turn north on Maryland Avenue. The garage entrance is located on the left side of the street. Hourly rates apply. Please ask clinic staff for a parking validation sticker.
