New ER route now in effect

With an expansion project getting under way, a new route to the Greene County Medical Center emergency room went into effect Tuesday.

The new route will have vehicles going to the ER off West Lincoln Way and around the west side of the medical center campus.

Signage is being installed to signify the new route.

The construction requires a fence to be placed around a large area of the east portion of the medical center campus and includes blocking the current ER driveway.

In the next several months, the public health wing on the east will be demolished, parking lots will be removed, grading will occur and construction on a new, 51,000-square-foot building will be done.
