HUH Election Day Updates

Due to street closures and barriers in place for Vice President Kamala Harris's election night watch party event on the Howard University campus, we are advising all staff and patients to approach Howard University Hospital traveling from the south and east of the city (map for local traffic routes). Access to the secured area around Howard University will feature multiple manned checkpoints. Staff should be prepared to present their current employee ID badge. Non-emergency patients and their guests will need to clearly state their purpose for visiting the hospital in order to gain access inside of the security perimeter. Please consider using Metro as an option to avoid major delays.
