A Letter to our Neighbors

On Wednesday, July 25, Highland Hospital held a public meeting with the Highland Park Neighborhood Association to discuss a modernization plan for the hospital. As part of our ongoing efforts to keep neighbors updated on hospital development, Highland Hospital's President and Vice President have written a letter to share the details of this plan.

Bellevue Planting Starting

On Friday, July 20^th, a contractor will start clearing under growth in preparation of planting new garden beds along the Hospital’s South Access Drive beginning at the Bellevue Dr. cul-de-sac. These are the plantings that were discussed and agreed upon during a special HPNHHIC meeting on March 29. It is anticipated that the clearing and plant bed preparation will take two days. During this phase of the operation, the metal fence south of the snow storage pavement area will also be removed. Upon completion of the clearing and bed preparation, the contractor will start planting new ornamental and evergreen trees, deciduous and evergreen shrubs, and perennials and ground covers. It is anticipated that this phase of work will take another 5 days. 

Repair Work on Rockingham St. Exit

Highland will be doing repair work to the driveway exit at Rockingham St. The work will happen from 4 to 9 p.m. for 5 days the week of 7/9. The work will be on Hospital property and contractors will be jackhammering and using excavation equipment. The work is being done in the evenings to maintain critical traffic flow to the hospital during the day.
