Directions and Parking:
Driving Directions: http://www.north-texas.med.va.gov/maps/dallasmap.htm
Lancaster runs North and South. It is about half way between I-35 and I-45. Our campus is a couple of blocks north of Loop 12/Ledbetter Dr.
A link to a map of our campus: http://www.north-texas.med.va.gov/maps/exterior_map.pdf
Building 75 on the left side of the map is the Community Center, where we will be holding our meeting.
Parking can be hard to find, but we are hoping that Thursday is not a heavy clinic day.
We recommend DART because of parking issues. More information can be found at: http://www.dart.org/
The entire DART System Map at: http://www.dart.org/maps/pdfmaps/DARTSystemMap03mar08.pdf
DART stops right in front of the Medical Center. This is the next to the last stop on the Blue Line. You can connect from the TRE at Union Station, and of course from the Red Line at a couple of stops. A one day pass is $3 (and may be worth it, believe us!).
You can either enter at the main entrance by the DART station and make an immediate left turn to follow the road around to that building, or go east on Ann Arbor from Lancaster and turn right onto the campus, and take another right to drive west past the building to the parking area.
To get to parking lot 1 (there will be more parking places near the Community Center than just west of the building), you must go in the main entrance, all the way "up" the drive, u-turn back down and enter the parking lot midway back down the drive. (This lot is for patients and visitors. We see several thousand patients a day in our outpatient clinic so parking is busy!)
FYI: The Library is on the 3d floor of Building 2 on the south side of the campus.
If you have questions about the meeting, feel free to contact Miriam Muallem miriam.muallem@hcahealthcare.com wk- 972-566-7579. If you need assistance with directions, please contact Shirley Campbell Shirley.campbell2@va.gov wk- 214-857-1251

January 20 Meeting Information
The agenda for the upcoming HealthLINE meeting has been sent to the listserv, so let me know if you didn't get an e-mail.
How to get to UT Southwestern.
A campus map.
Parking:
Parking is not free at UT Southwestern. Costs vary from $2 to $5. When clicking on the campus map you will see that Lot 7 is reserved for visitor parking. If that lot is full then overflow parking is available at a lot near Harry Hines Boulevard and Lofland Street.
Directions to E6.200:
We will meet in the Multi Modality Education and Videoconference Center in room E6.200. The E Building (otherwise known as the Fred F. Florence Bioinformation Center) is indicated on the above campus map. E6.200 is in the same building as the Library but cannot be accessed from within the Library.
When entering the E Building you will see the Library. To the left of the Library you will see a rather large corridor. You will notice when entering this corridor that you are walking toward three rather large seals. These are not the lovable aquatic creatures that bark and balance beach balls on their snouts but rather the official seals of the state, the university, and...I don’t know what the third one is. In any event, the corridor jogs to the left at these seals. At this jog you will notice a bank of three elevators to your left. Take one of these elevators (please, only one) to the sixth floor. Upon emerging from these elevators you will see, to your right, an intersection of two corridors. There is an entrance to E6.200 at this intersection and another that is not far down the righthand corridor.
