The main entrance to the Benefis Emergency Department has reopened as we continue renovations to improve our reception and waiting area.

The first phase of construction is complete, and work will now move to the back of the waiting area. Please note that exterior hallway access from the North Tower will be unavailable during this phase, which is expected to continue through January.
