How to get to the Womens Community Education Classroom: You can park in the P1 Parking garage located on Alden Rd. There is a pedestrian bridge that connects the 3rd floor of the parking garage to the hospital. Make sure to follow the signs for AdventHealth for Women. After you cross the walkway into the hospital there is an elevator next to the escalator. The classroom is located just to the left of the escalator.

We look forward to seeing you.
