Parking at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo
The John C. Gallagher, Sr. Parking Ramp is directly across from the hospital on Hodge Street, with another access point on Elmwood Avenue next to Pier 1 (cortico.health). The ramp is the most directly identified hospital parking option for a visit to 118 Hodge Avenue, placing drivers close to the hospital rather than sending them into downtown.
Patients and visitors can also use the front parking lot at Sisters of Charity Hospital for a nominal fee, with parking machines available around the clock (chsbuffalo.org).

The maternity service listing also advertises free parking for maternity patients and visitors (ochbuffalo.org).
Street Parking Around Hodge Avenue and Elmwood Avenue
The hospital sits at 118 Hodge Avenue, close to the Hodge Street and Elmwood Avenue approaches used for the John C. Gallagher, Sr. Parking Ramp (cortico.health). Those streets are the practical places to orient yourself before deciding whether to use a ramp or search for a curb space.
Street parking around a hospital can be affected by signed restrictions, loading activity and access requirements, particularly near entrances and emergency routes.
Arriving for Appointments, Maternity Visits and Emergencies
For a planned appointment, the ramp across Hodge Street provides a straightforward arrival point, while the Elmwood Avenue access beside Pier 1 offers a second approach (cortico.health). Valet attendants at the Golisano Children's Hospital main entrance can assist with loading and unloading from Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (ubns.com).
Maternity patients and visitors have a particularly useful parking concession: the maternity services page advertises free parking (ochbuffalo.org). Drivers bringing someone for care should use the appropriate hospital entrance and keep the emergency access route clear, rather than stopping in a travel lane or at a restricted curb. Appointment questions can be directed to the clinic at (716) 859-5454 (ochbuffalo.org).
Parksy Parking Near the Buffalo Hospital
The priced Parksy option is a parking space at 85 W. Mohawk Street, 1.5 miles from the hospital, at $15 a day. Its daily format is better suited to a full-day appointment, extended visit or occasional shift than to a quick drop-off, although the distance means drivers should allow extra time for the final journey.
For a visit lasting several hours, a reserved space away from the hospital can avoid repeated searches for curb parking. The 85 W. Mohawk Street space is the only nearby Parksy listing with a published price for this page, so it is the clear choice when a known daily cost matters more than parking immediately beside the hospital.
Reaching the Hospital Without Driving
The hospital is 1.6 miles from Buffalo center, making central Buffalo a useful starting point for a car-free journey. From the center, a visitor can combine local public transportation with a final walk to 118 Hodge Avenue, avoiding the need to find a space near the hospital.
The search information identifies Buffalo General Medical Center and Golisano Children's Hospital parking at the ramp at 854 Ellicott Street (buffalogeneral.org), while the hospital-specific result identifies Hodge Street and Elmwood Avenue as the relevant approaches (cortico.health).
