CHILTON, Wis. – Calumet Medical Center is moving patient and visitor parking to the lot on Memorial Drive, making room for the $1.6 million renovation and expansion project announced last month. All patients and visitors should use the parking spots closest to the Memorial Drive entrance. The stalls are marked with white striping. After entering, registration and reception staff will greet patients and visitors during normal business hours.
The project is on schedule for a December opening. Work will include expansion and renovation of the hospital’s outpatient registration, Emergency department and ambulance bay area, and the Radiology/Imaging department. Additionally, the hospital will expand its use of technology, including electronic information sharing, computerized imaging and telemedicine opportunities.
Calumet Medical Center is a member of Affinity Health System.
