UTICA, N.Y. — Nearly nine months after Wynn Hospital opened in downtown Utica, its promised parking garage is set to open, according to an email newsletter from Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS).
The parking garage, owned by Oneida County, opens Monday, July 15 to MVHS employees, physicians, and volunteers. There is no charge for anyone that is coming to the hospital, including patients and visitors. Employees, volunteers, and providers have their own entrance into the garage off State Street.
The first floor of the garage has marked emergency department parking for patients and visitors, with another section for the public. The second floor includes marked parking for medical staff along with parking for visitors and patients. Floors 3-5 contain parking for Wynn Hospital employees and those who frequently come to the hospital for meetings. No pickup trucks are allowed on the 5th floor for safety reasons due to medical helicopters. All floors contain handicap-accessible parking close to the elevators.
Employee parking remains available in parking lot A for employees and parking lot B for visitors who prefer not to park in the garage. The parking lot at the medical office building is reserved for CNY Cardiology patients and physicians, along with MVHS patients using services in the building including lab, imaging, pharmacy, and specialty physician offices.
MVHS has offered complimentary valet-parking service since the Wynn opened, and that service will remain at the main hospital entrance. Valet service for the emergency department will end in about a week.
