ANTHC is moving forward with construction for Phase 1 of the ESE project, which includes floors 1-3 and renovations to the existing Emergency Department. Improvements that will come with the expansion of floors 1-3, include:

• 21 additional Emergency Department patient care spaces
• 12 new Clinical Decision Unit beds for observation
• 15 additional behavioral health treatment space
• 10 new surgery recovery bays
• New, dedicated drive through ambulance entrance
• Core and shell design necessary to build floors 4-6

ANTHC is also moving forward with designing floors 4-6 as we seek additional funding to support construction of Phase 2, which includes:

• 60 new inpatient beds;
• Private inpatient rooms (converting from semi-private);
• 32 new adult inpatient beds; and
• Helipad to enhance trauma services.

While we have a lot of work ahead, we are making significant strides to improve the services we provide.

Construction and Parking Updates

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

On May 1, construction crews covered the windows behind the east side exterior canopy with plywood, in order to protect the glass from any potential airborne debris during the demolition of the canopy and octagon.

Starting Friday, May 3, construction crews will extend their laydown area in the ANMC hospital east side parking lot, including part of the existing roadway. Traffic will be rerouted and signage will be placed to direct the flow of traffic. If you are visiting this area, please be alert of ongoing construction activities and new traffic patterns. Please see the graphic below for a visual of the impacted area.

PARKING UPDATE

Starting on Friday, May 3, construction crews will take over more of the ANMC hospital east side parking lot for construction staging. The east lot parking is reserved for patients. Additional parking locations include: the ANMC Patient Housing Parking Garage (north of the hospital), the Denali Parking Garage (east of the hospital), the Flattop Mountain Parking Garage (south of the hospital).
