Teens Using Drugs: What To Know and What To Do

The “Teens Using Drugs: What To Know and What To Do” programs are presented at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Education Center, located at 5305 Elliott Drive in Ypsilanti, Michigan. All programs will be presented in classroom EC-4. There will be signs placed at key points in the building, directing you to the location.

Directions to the Education Center Building and Classrooms

It is best to enter through the building located at 5305 Elliott Drive. We will place signs in the building directing you from this entrance to the location of the program.

The hospital campus is circled by Elliott Drive (south side) and McAuley Drive (north side.) All streets leading to the hospital campus connect with either Elliott Drive or McAuley Drive. If you enter the campus onto McAuley Drive, follow it around to Elliott Drive. Follow Elliott Drive to the Education Center building at 5305 Elliott Drive (THIS IS THE SAME BUILDING AS THE “ADMINISTRATION” BUILDING – it is situated between the Emergency Room and the Family Birthing Center/Imaging Center.) There are signs in front of each parking area that identify what building(s) can be accessed from the parking area. We suggest parking in parking area "P" and entering the Education Center through the front entrance of the 5305 Elliott Drive building.

To find classroom EC-4: Enter the Education Center through the front door at 5305 Elliott Drive. There are elevators and stairs on the left side of the lobby. Take the elevator or stairs to the second floor. Turn left, and proceed down this hallway towards the Education Center classrooms. Turn left at the first hallway on the left; go through the double doors and proceed about half way down this hallway. Classroom EC-4 is on the right side of this hall. We place orange-colored wayfinding/direction signs along the route from the front entrance door of the 5305 building to the classroom.
