In preparation for the coming snowstorm, OSF St. Francis Hospital’s main entrance and parking lot, as well as staff parking lots, will be temporarily closed on Sunday, March 15 and will be reopen Monday, March 16.
These closures will allow hospital facility maintenance teams to focus their efforts on maintaining safe roadways and entrances for everyone. Please see attached image for reference.
Hospital visitors and staff are asked to park next to and enter through the emergency department.
The OSF Emergency Department and Walk-in Clinic will maintain normal operating hours during the storm, however due to the anticipated severity of conditions we highly encourage the community to stay home if they do not have a medical emergency.
We will continue to update the public on any additional safety measures through our Facebook page.
