LETHBRIDGE – After being used for construction equipment during the hospital’s re-development project, a new parking lot at Chinook Regional Hospital located north of the Emergency entrance is now open.

A release from Alberta Health Services says the new lot is intended for patients using the Emergency Department, and will operate with Pay by Plate equipment.

That’s similar to parking options in the north loop and Auxiliary areas.

Parking payment options are incremental, which will accept coin payments for up to three hours for $8 or daily, any stay longer than three hours is the most cost effective, as the day rate is $8.50.

The new parking lot is intended for short-term use while visiting emergency, and if a patient is admitted who has a longer stay than anticipated, they could reach out to the Parking Office to determine more suitable parking arrangements.
