Facility Overview
The Deaconess Visitor Parking Garage is a dedicated multi-level parking structure serving the Deaconess Midtown Hospital campus in Evansville, Indiana. Located at 520 Mary Street directly adjacent to the Deaconess Physician Center and hospital pavilions, this parking deck provides safe, weather-protected vehicle storage for hospital patients, visiting family members, and medical clinic guests. Designed with spacious drive aisles, gentle ramping, and designated pedestrian corridors, the facility readily accommodates standard passenger cars, minivans, crossover vehicles, and standard pickup trucks. High-clearance conversion vans and oversized commercial equipment exceeding standard garage clearance heights (typically around 7 feet) should utilize designated open-air surface spaces located along the perimeter of the Midtown campus.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak morning and early afternoon appointment hours (typically 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM), lower garage levels fill up quickly; drivers are advised to proceed directly to the upper tiers for faster parking. Keep track of the specific level and elevator bank used, as hospital corridors can be expansive. If visiting during inclement winter weather, the fully covered levels provide complete protection from snow and ice accumulation. For those escorting mobility-impaired patients, take advantage of the patient drop-off drive located at the main clinic entrance prior to parking inside the garage deck.
