Strong Memorial Hospital

Waiting Areas

There are two main waiting areas at Strong Memorial Hospital:

• Main lobby, which is located at the main entrance on Elmwood Avenue
  
  
• Family Waiting Room, which is located on your left as you come in the Crittenden Boulevard entrance

A Family Waiting Area is nearby or attached to each of the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) within the hospital.

Friends and family of patients who are undergoing inpatient surgery should check in at the reception desk in the Family Waiting Room to find out where they should wait. Friends of Strong volunteers and staff are in touch with the operating room, recovery room, doctors and unit personnel and will keep you posted on the status of the surgery while you are waiting.
