The Vanderbilt Clinic Garage is the most convenient parking facility for Vanderbilt Clinic patients and families. There is no charge for patient and visitor parking when parking tickets are validated at the second floor information desk. When you park at The Vanderbilt Clinic Garage, walk from the garage on the 2nd level across the crosswalk into the The Vanderbilt Clinic on the second floor. Take the elevator to the first floor, and look for signs reading "Thoracic Surgery Clinic" (Suite 1710). If problems or questions arise, please do not hesitate to call our receptionist at (615) 322-0064. Covered walkways connect all of the garages to the hospital and clinic.

Please have your ticket validated between 8:00am and 5:00pm weekdays at one of our conveniently located validation stations.
