VA Maryland Health Care System Update

News & Announcements

To All VA Maryland Health Care System E-News Subscribers:

Beginning Monday, April 10, 2017, the parking garage at the Baltimore VA Medical Center (VAMC) will be closed to prepare for Phase 3 of the garage construction project. Effective April 10^th and for the remainder of the project, patients visiting the Baltimore VAMC will park at the Metro West garage, which is located just two blocks away at 610 W. Saratoga St. (see directions below). The parking garage construction project involves replacing deteriorating ramps and road surfaces to ensure a safe environment. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2017. 

                   

A handicap accessible shuttle service will make regular pickups and drop-offs inside the Metro West garage and the breezeway of the Baltimore VAMC. The garage, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, will also have a free valet service, onsite parking attendants and security coverage. When parking at the Metro West garage, I encourage you to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled clinic appointment to avoid being late.

 

For updates about the project or directions to the Metro West garage, please visit maryland.va.gov or call 1-800-463-6295, ext. 7103. You can also follow the detour signs marked “VA Hospital Alternate Parking,” which are located around the Baltimore VAMC and the Metro West garage.

 

For more information, please email us at VAMHCSPublicRelations@va.gov .

 

I apologize for any inconvenience the construction may cause you, but it is necessary to maintain a safe environment. Thank you for your support and cooperation!

 

Sincerely,

 

Adam M. Robinson, Jr., MD

Director, VA Maryland Health Care System
