Guthrie Center, Iowa — February 20, 2026 — Guthrie County Hospital is announcing temporary access changes for patients while construction progresses on campus. These adjustments will ensure continued safe and efficient entry to clinic services throughout the construction period. A detailed map illustrating the updated entrances and parking areas is included with this release for patient convenience.
GCH Specialty Clinic – Temporary Entrances & Parking (Effective February 25)
Beginning February 25, all patients visiting the GCH Specialty Clinic will use the entrance located just south of the ambulance bay. Parking for GCH Specialty Clinic appointments will also be located in the lot south of the ambulance bay. Signage will be posted to help guide patients to the correct entrance and parking areas.
GCH Clinic – Guthrie Center & Pediatrics – Temporary Relocation to South Trailer (Effective March 2)
Starting March 2, the GCH Clinic – Guthrie Center will temporarily relocate to the trailer south of the hospital. Pediatrics, which is offered on Tuesdays only, will also move to this temporary location on its clinic day. A newly designated parking lot is available directly adjacent to the trailer, providing convenient access for all GCH Clinic and Pediatric appointments.

As of now, the Main Entry and Emergency Entrance will not change. However, at a yet to be determined date in March, the main entry and emergency entrance of the hospital will move to the north end of the building. As soon as we have an effective date, the hospital will communicate this change to the public.
