A large number of people are experiencing flu-like symptoms in Northern California.  If you think you are in need of medical attention, you may be able to avoid wait time by making medical appointments online. If you need information about flu symptoms and what to do if you think you have it, go to kp.org/mydoctor/flu for frequently asked questions and health guidelines.  And, it’s not too late for a flu shot to help protect you. As always, if you feel you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Over the next several months, you’ll see a lot of construction activity in and around the Walnut Creek Medical Center as we work to improve access to our facility and the overall safety of our campus.

Beginning Monday, June 19, the Walnut Creek Medical Center east parking garage elevators will be closed for construction. The east elevators are getting a large scale upgrade that will increase the size, and improve the speed and functionality of the elevators for our members. We anticipate this construction to be completed by the end of December 2017.

Construction crews will be closing a small number of parking spaces on each floor to create safe walking paths for members to easily access the west elevators.

We understand this may cause some inconvenience. We’ve planned the work as much as possible to minimize the impact to our members, but in some cases, disruptions may occur.

Please allow extra time when coming to the campus for appointments or picking up prescriptions. For your convenience, you can also order prescriptions by mail or to be delivered to another Kaiser Permanente location of your choice. The toll free number for mail order refills is 1-888-218-6245.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our facility for everyone.
