To Our Valued Patients, Visitors & Community:
Harrington has begun construction on its new Southbridge Emergency Department. This project has four distinct phases; the first is expected to take 6 months to complete. We acknowledge this is a very challenging project, and we are working diligently to do everything we can to accommodate our patients and visitors to minimize disruption. Our Emergency Department will remain open during the entire construction process, but modifications will be made for patient entrance, security and parking.
Beginning Friday, August 3rd, the current entrance to the ER will be closed off for construction. Patients and visitors will be routed to a new temporary entrance adjacent to the construction area (see photo). We will continue to employ the same security protocols as the safety of our patients, visitors and employees remains a top priority.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. Should you have any concerns when you arrive, please reach out to our Public Safety or ED staff; everyone is doing their best to make this process as smooth as possible. We are all looking forward to the new Southbridge ED at the completion of this construction!
We will keep you updated as the phases progress on this project.
