PMC addresses safety concerns of parking garage following social media video

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) – Pikeville Medical Center is addressing concerns after a video on social media has called the safety of the hospital’s parking garage into question. 


The video, which has gone viral, shows movement of a joint in the parking garage as vehicles drive across the area.


PMC released a statement on social media saying, “Movement of certain joints in the garage is not a new issue,” and that movement is necessary, “given expansion and contraction with weather changes.”


PMC also said claims that the hospital has been fined or cited over the safety of the garage are false and that there has, “never been any failures or construction-related incidents in the garage that have led to damage, injury, or death of anyone.”


The hospital says they have been working with installers of the garage for the past year and have installed an additional reinforcement beam to support the joint shown in the online video.
