Today hospital valet parking is becoming more and more popular. For many hospitals, it is a great way to help visitors, patients and staff by providing them with an additional convenient service. Not only does it provide a safer environment for everyone involved, hospital valet parking prevents bottlenecks near the front entrance and ER.

By helping control traffic flow, hospital valet parking will ensure that vehicles are not backed-up especially during emergencies.
Hospital valet parking can provide a convenient service that offers a wide range of benefits for the hospital and community. Oftentimes when people come to the hospital, they are in a hurry, trying to visit family members and friends, in need of emergency care, or have a scheduled appointment or for other reasons.

The last thing a person wants to think about when under stress is where to find a parking spot. Hospital valet parking is intended to alleviate an additional stressor on those who already have plenty to worry about.

Another clear benefit of hospital valet parking is providing assistance for people who are handicapped or disabled. Since there are a lot of people that need help, hospitals can oftentimes become understaffed.  A valet service can assist with transporting patients. At many hospitals, valet attendants are trained in assisting with wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, walkers and other needs a patient might have.
