Southeast Health in Dothan, Alabama is making temporary changes to emergency room access as construction continues on its Emergency Department and Patient Tower expansion. Beginning March 16, patients arriving by private vehicle will need to enter the hospital through a covered walking tunnel located in the West Parking Garage next to the Women's Center. All patient drop-offs and pick-ups for the ER will now take place inside the West Parking Garage, with security officers on hand to assist.
Why it matters
The changes are necessary as Southeast Health expands its facilities to better serve patients across the Wiregrass region. The ongoing construction project is expected to continue into 2028, so these temporary ER access adjustments will be in place for an extended period.
