Renovation of the old part of the Central Peninsula Hospital, now known as the River Pavilion, begins February 1^st and, in preparation, the two main entrances will be closed January 26^th.   Patients and visitors will now need to enter the hospital through the Mountain Tower entrance, the Emergency Department entrance or the River Pavilion entrance near the gift shop at the east end of the hospital.
“Phase III of our renovation project will be starting February 1^st,” says Rich Davidson, CPH Support Services Director, “and that means the old entrances will have to be closed.  The area where the fish tank, the reception desk and Admitting have always been, as well as the curved driveway, will be part of the new dining area so the entrances in that area will have to be closed during the transformation.”
Any of the other three entrances may be used, but those arriving as non-emergency patients or visitors are encouraged to use the Mountain Tower entrance.  Through this entrance, there is access to reception,  a  volunteer information desk, a temporary Admissions area and all patient rooms.
Phase III renovation work on the lobby, dining area, Admissions and the gift shop should be complete by fall of this year.   Renovation of the Emergency Department should be complete in the spring of 2008.
