Directions to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center
From the northbound or southbound 405 freeway to main patient
and visitor parking:
Exit the freeway at the Atlantic Avenue south off-ramp. Travel south on Atlantic,
crossing Spring Street. Just past Columbia Street, look for the well-marked
entrance to LBMMC. Turn right to enter the parking area.
|
The Center for Health Education is located on the lower level of the Medical Center. The entrance is located to the left of the parking kiosk – take the steps that lead down, rather than the steps leading up to the main entrance of the medical center. Over the door it says, “Center for Health Education.” |
