Welcome to Paoli Hospital. Knowing you have other options for your health care needs, we appreciate you choosing us and extend our wish for your complete and swift recovery.
Providing a safe environment for patients, staff and the community is integral to our focus of delivering high-quality care. Main Line Health requires visitors to obtain a temporary visitor's badge from our Greeter Service Ambassadors located at the main entrance of our hospitals. A government-issued ID (state ID, driver's license, passport, etc.) is required to receive a visitor's badge.

Visiting hours
Patients are permitted to have visitors from 8:00am to 7:00pm, as long as it is not disruptive to their healing. Patients are permitted to have two visitors at a time, and visitors are allowed to swap out throughout the day. Children below the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Visitation is always at the discretion of the patient's care team. Main Line Health staff will facilitate this to the best of their ability and may need to limit or restrict visitors to protect the health, privacy and safety of the patient. The patient has the right to be made aware of any clinical limitations or restrictions.
