Parking and check in
For your convenience, free valet parking is available for patients and guests in the circle drive located next to Entrance 2A or 2B on the Parkview Regional Medical Center Campus.
Free public parking is provided in lots outside each entrance on the Parkview Regional Medical Center campus. Guests are welcome to park in any non-reserved space in public parking lot #2.
A Family Birthing Center staff member will greet you in the reception area, assist you with check in and escort you to your room. Shortly thereafter, a Patient Registration staff member will visit, if required.
Visiting hours
Visiting hours are not restricted at the Parkview Women’s & Children’s Hospital.
Balancing our patients’ need for rest and their desire for visitors is important, so visiting hours are based on the discretion of the unit nurse and patient. Patients have the right to refuse visitation.
The unit nurses ultimately decide whether a patient’s condition warrants visitors, and they may deny visitation in the best interest of the patient, or grant extended visitation to immediate family members.
Tobacco-free facilities
All Parkview Health campuses are tobacco-free. No tobacco use of any kind is permitted – inside or outside – on our property. Parkview’s decision to go tobacco-free is a tangible way we can demonstrate our ongoing commitment to a healthier work environment and to a better experience for our patients and their families. For more information and resources regarding tobacco cessation, please visit www.in.gov/itpc.
