harborview

My husband works at Harborview and from what he tells me parking is a real problem down there unless you pay to park somewhere. Finding parking on the street is hard and you might drive around forever trying to find a place. He works nights also. He takes the bus or I drive him down and pick him up in the AM.

Yes, ALL staff pays... and count on paying $20 a day.

If you are an employee you get a discount... esp for the noc shifts. The $20/day is if you pay what the visitors pay. I either paid $30 or $60/month for nocs full-time. (sorry about not knowing the exact... I'm per diem now and canceled it a couple of months ago).

There are NO discounts for employees.

The only "discount" offered related to parking is for family members of a pt in ICU.

HMC is a state run hospital, therefore its employees are state employees. It was explained to me that b/c HMC is a state run facility, no discounts could be offered. Maybe there was a discount for noc shifters in the past, but there certainly isn't anymore... we don't even get a public safety officer escort to our cars anymore.

Thanks everyone for your input.....think I'll take the bus......
