Kent Hospital Campus Construction Updates

Important Information for Patients and Visitors

Kent Hospital is growing to better serve our community.

As part of a major campus improvement project, we'll be expanding services, creating new patient care spaces, and improving access to care. While construction is underway, the hospital will remain open and fully operational.

Patient safety, access, and convenience remain our top priorities. Some traffic patterns, parking areas, and entrances will change during construction. We'll post updates on this page and throughout the campus to help you navigate your visit.

Free valet parking is available to patients and visitors at two locations on campus. We encourage you to take advantage of this service to make parking easier during construction.

As of June 29, 2026, the hospital main entrance will move to a temporary location for the duration of construction.

Please allow extra travel time, arrive early for appointments, and follow posted signs and directions when visiting campus.
