Visiting a hospital is stressful enough; how can simplifying parking with security reduce that burden?
Visiting a hospital can be a stressful event, especially when the admitted patient is a child. At Nemours Children’s Hospital, every possible measure is taken to reduce patient and family stress before visitors even walk into the lobby – starting in the parking garage.
Nemours Children’s Hospital, in Orlando, Fla., has a four-story parking garage, with more than 900 available parking spaces. The first and second floors are reserved for patients’ families and visitors, so they can walk directly into the hospital – an added bonus for wheelchair-bound patients. The hospital also offers free valet parking, so parents or visiting family members don’t need to remember where they parked, says Joe Summanen, Physical Security Specialist for Nemours.
