The Washington Hospital Center bus departs Brookland Metro for National Rehabilitation Hospital/WHC every 20 minutes from 5:40 PM through 7:00 PM.

Parking:

Park in any visitors space. There are plenty; We suggest using the ones on the right as you come in opposite the emergency room entrance, as that is the only entrance open after 8. You can also park in the large lot past the main entrance.

Building Entry:

Enter via the Emergency Room entrance. You may need to show an armed guard a photo ID, e.g.  driver's license. Continue in the direction you entered until you come to a large "room"; then look to your right and back the way you came; there are three elevators there.

Fourth floor:

When you get to the fourth floor, off of the elevator, the auditorium should be right in front of you.
