UNM Hospital Announces Redesigned Patient Parking

A new covered structure and separate open-air parking lot are now available for patients at UNM Hospital. These new parking areas, which have taken the place of the Lomas Parking Structure, are located on the north and south sides of Camino de Salud, east of the recently completed Yale Roundabout. The parking structure is located next to hospital, while the parking lot is located nearby across Camino de Salud. This short-term inconvenience will soon become a long-term benefit to patients.

For those patients parking at the open-air parking lot and who are in need of assistance to reach the hospital, six shuttle carts are in constant use, carrying patients from the parking lot to the new entrance of UNM Hospital and o
the front door of the UNM Cancer Center. Elevators are available for patients parking in the new structure to take them to the floor their appointment is located on.

The Lomas Parking Structure, located across Lomas, and connected to the hospital via pedestrian bridge, is now reserved for University Hospital employee permit parking only.
