Parking/Directions to Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center

Patients and visitors should park on the first level of the Thompson Cancer Survival Center garage and enter through the red door. The Gamma Knife Center is located in the Radiation Oncology department on the first floor of Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Signs are posted to direct patients and visitors to the appropriate place. 

Parking validation is provided for only one vehicle on procedure day. Patients cannot drive themselves home after the Gamma Knife procedure, so the validated vehicle should be for whoever drives the patient home. Patients will register with the Gamma Knife Coordinator, Rick Wyrick, BS RN.
