Facility Overview
AAMC Sajak Garage D is a multi-story covered parking structure situated on the Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) campus at 2002 Medical Parkway in Annapolis, Maryland. Specifically serving the Sajak Pavilion—home to the Geaton and JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute and specialized outpatient clinics—this structured garage provides modern, direct, weather-protected vehicular parking for patients, family visitors, and healthcare staff. The facility accommodates standard sedans, compact cars, minivans, and mid-to-large SUVs with clearly marked lanes, smooth turning radii, and an intuitive layout. Standard garage clearance is posted around 7\'0\" (subject to posted signage at the portal); drivers operating high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo carriers should monitor entry clearances or utilize campus surface parking alternatives.
