Facility Overview
The East Parking Garage is a primary multi-level covered parking facility serving the sprawling Morristown Medical Center (Atlantic Health System) campus in Morristown, New Jersey. Conveniently positioned off Madison Avenue (Route 124), the structure offers direct, sheltered access to major hospital wings, specialized treatment centers, and administrative pavilions. The facility features wide driving lanes, well-lit parking decks, designated ADA-accessible bays, and dedicated elevator banks providing seamless movement to and from clinical appointments.
The garage accommodates standard passenger cars, minivans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks or high-roof commercial vans should observe posted clearance warnings (typically standard multi-deck clearance of 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet). Oversized vehicles or handicap-equipped high-top vans are encouraged to check for designated ground-level or surface valet areas if vertical clearance is a concern.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Traffic around the hospital campus can peak between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM on weekdays as outpatient appointments commence. Plan to arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to navigate the garage and walk to your clinic. Remember to bring your parking ticket with you into the hospital so you can utilize the automated pay-on-foot stations inside the elevator lobbies before returning to your vehicle. If you or a loved one are visiting frequently or for an extended hospital stay, inquire at the hospital information desk about multi-day parking passes or discounted visitor books.
