South Central Regional Medical Center officials stated that the driveway to the hospital Emergency Department which was located on the west side of the medical facility at 13th avenue directly across from South Central Orthopaedic, has relocated to Leontyne Price Blvd. The change of entry occurred on Wednesday, September 6th at 2 p.m.

Thomas Dobbs, MD, Chief Quality Officer and Vice President at South Central Regional Medical Center said, Minutes count when there is a life threatening condition so it is important that the community is aware about the new driveway to our Emergency Department. We will have signage placed at all entry points to the South Central parking lot directing those going to the Emergency Department to the new driveway.

Those going to the emergency department will enter the hospital directly from Leontyne Price Blvd. “We have placed signs along the thoroughfare directing the public to the temporary emergency department entrance,” Dr. Dobbs said. “Until construction is completed, the Emergency Department entrance will be located at Leontyne Price Blvd.”
