Services for Disabled

A number of services are available for disabled patients and visitors including a 24-hour Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD) number 225-231-5252 and a telecaption decoder for the television.

We also have a sign-language interpreter for the hearing impaired and handicapped accessible parking, entrances, restroom facilities and water fountains.

Red boxes are located on levels two through four of the parking garage, in and around the garage elevators, and at the door of entrance 2. These red boxes are Courtesy Call Stations that are connected to a guard desk. Anyone may use these to call for assistance (wheelchair, directions, etc.).

Handicapped parking spaces for visitors and patients are available along the front row of the east surface visitor lot and near the elevator lobbies on each level of the parking garage (2nd or 3rd level, preferably). Handicapped parking is also available for Day Surgery patients in the lot across from entrance 2.

Anyone requiring special parking consideration may call the Security Desk at 225-924-8473.

Shuttle service for visitors and patients
Woman’s Hospital has a shuttle service for visitors and patients that runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday through Friday. The shuttle route runs from the East surface visitor lot (the one closest to Airline Highway) to the canopies of Physician Tower I and Entrance 4 (main lobby of the hospital). Look for the white Dodge Sprinter van with the Woman's Hospital Parking Shuttle Service sign on the side panel. Contact Security in the lobby or call 924-8473 for further details on shuttle availability.

When planning to attend our community education programs, notify Resources for Women at 225-924-8444 if you need assistance due to a disability recognized by the ADA.
