SANDPOINT — While construction of the new Bonner General Health hospital building is going smoothly, confusion over how to access established hospital services is a problem.
According to Terri Fortner, BGH community development and foundation director, people are reporting confusion in finding the emergency room and other hospital services. That’s primarily due to the construction signs set up to warn of construction zones and blocked streets, she said. The confusion stems from the fact that the signs aren’t meant to block access to hospital services — only the inaccessible Third Avenue, which has been torn up for construction work.
