On Thursday, September 25, The Memorial Hospital at Easton invites the community to celebrate the grand opening of the Edward B. and Mildred H. Freeman Outpatient Center. The event begins at 5:00 p.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony followed by tours of the new facility until 6:30 p.m. Guests can enter the Freeman Center on the south side of the hospital, where free parking is available in the public lot off of Earl Avenue. Refreshments will be served.

The Freeman Outpatient Center is located next to the Memorial Hospital Emergency Department, which faces Earle Avenue. The 14,500-square-foot facility, which opened in August, was named for the late Edward and Mildred Freeman. The Easton couple’s bequest to the Memorial Hospital Foundation was the largest bequest from an estate ever received in the history of the hospital.

The Freeman Outpatient Center is the main entrance to the hospital for outpatient and surgical services. In addition to a pleasant reception and registration area, the Freeman Center houses Shore Comprehensive Pain Care, the Infusion Center and the Short Stay Unit. A phlebotomy area is available for routine lab services as well as therapeutic phlebotomy.

Free valet parking is available at the Freeman Outpatient Center entrance, Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Valet parking service will continue to be provided for visitors who come to the hospital’s lobby entrance on Washington Street.
