The Garau Street main entrance to Bluffton Hospital is officially history.
This month the hospital announced that all patients, except those receiving physical therapy, should now enter through the Emergency Department entrance. The Garau Street entrance should only be used for those with physical therapy appointments.
The move is part of the addition of The Women's Center at Bluffton Hospital.
Bluffton Hospital was constructed in 1937 and has had a Garau Street street main entrance since its construction.
