SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb., – Expectant parents and their families and friends are advised that access to Regional West’s Birth & Infant Care Center will be re-routed during a construction project that will begin early next week and continue for an estimated 7 to 10 days.

The north entrance to the hospital will remain open, but the lobby at the north entrance will be closed.

During the construction project, please follow the directional signs from the north entrance, down the main north-south hallway, past the chapel and the Medical Staff office to reach the Birth & Infant Care Center.

The main hospital will continue to be accessible from the North Patient Dismissal entrance.

Because the construction project will involve asbestos removal, only authorized personnel will have access to the construction areas.
