MEDICINE HAT, AB – Alberta Health Services is reinstating parking fees for the public at its facilities next month.

Facilities in the South Zone affected are Medicine Hat Regional Hospital and Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge.

PHS says public parking fees will be the same as they were prior to the pause and that coins and cash will still be accepted at AHS parking meters and parking offices.

In a release, AHS says “As part of routine Infection Prevention and Control measures, AHS Parking Services has already enhanced cleaning, and will continue to regularly clean all parking payment machines. Signs encouraging social distancing will be in place in areas where this additional guidance will help further reduce the spread of COVID-19.”
