Ambulances at Stevenson Hospital in Alliston will be dropping off patients at its front door for the next few months.

In a post on social media, the hospital says construction is underway at the facility and at least until the fall, patients, visitors and those who arrive by ambulance will all be using the main entrance of the hospital.

“Patient drop-off at the main entrance is still encouraged,” the hospital says in a post online, adding “please be mindful that ambulances may be in the area.”

Visitors are asked to refrain from parking in the designated ambulance parking spots near the main entrance and generally be mindful of ambulances in the area.

The hospital says work is being done to create a a separate entrance for ambulance off load, which should be read by the fall.

The incoming ambulance entrance will remain open when the new facility is completed in 2028.
