Where Do I park?
For those with limited mobility, Sumter Street is a viable drop off point with street parking in the area.
The next recommendation would be to park at the Lady Street Garage. Exit along Lady Street leaving by turning right out of the garage. Then turn right again at Main St, and the State House will be in front of you.

WHY WE’RE THERE:
Because OSA has a history of bullying and intimidation of patients, and we’re not letting them go unchecked.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is NOT a risk free event. The other group is known to be confrontational. Stay alert, stay calm, stay focused.
