RGH to begin rerouting

PORTALES — Roosevelt General Hospital will on Monday begin rerouting emergency room visits by individuals and ambulances due to construction.

The hospital anticipates construction of its new emergency department will require the rerouting until at least February.

For visitors and ER patients: Make a right turn after entry screening and use the parking spots marked with “Reserved ER Parking” signs near the RGH cafeteria. Patients will come through the main hospital entry doors and proceed to an ER registration window.

For ambulances: The ambulance route begins at U.S. 70. Upon entry to the RGH campus, ambulances will turn right toward the warehouse/storage unit, then turn left to the emergency bay on the hospital’s south side.

Testing for COVID-19 and associated parking will be located on the east side of the hospital, separate from the emergency routes.
