Parking Relief at LIJ
May 1, 2008
Surrounded by staff from LIJ Medical Center, North Shore-LIJ Health System President and CEO Michael Dowling and Chairman Saul Katz, holding scissors, cut the ribbon on LIJ’s new employee parking garage. The new, seven-story 1,100-car staff garage, located on the north side of the campus, off 74th Avenue in Glen Oaks, frees up 975 parking spaces for patients and visitors in the public garage near LIJ’s main entrance off Lakeville Road. The employee garage, which cost $29 million, was sorely needed to make parking easier for patients and visitors, and to reduce parking and traffic congestion in the neighborhoods surrounding the LIJ Medical Center campus. The new garage is one of multiple building and construction projects underway or planned at LIJ, Schneider Children’s Hospital and Zucker Hillside Hospital, to modernize and expand facilities to improve healthcare services for the community.
