Parking Assistance
In order to make visits more convenient and more pleasant for patients and their families, we offer parking assistance at the main entrance of Franklin Memorial Hospital. This free service, which is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. is staffed entirely by volunteers.
The primary job of our friendly team is to park cars, but they also serve as greeters to patients, helping in any way they can at the front door. Sometimes this includes wheelchair assistance or a helping hand, and sometimes it just means a smiling face.
