As part of Main Line Health, we provide you the services of an exceptional team of highly skilled and dedicated individuals. While each staff member is a specialist in his or her chosen field, we all share a common commitment to your good health and well-being.

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.

View the Paoli Hospital patient guide. 

Patients are permitted to have visitors from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday, 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. Visitors can request to stay overnight with patients. 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.

Our staff is available to help you and your family with questions or complaints concerning your stay and to explain hospital policies and procedures. We encourage you and your family to openly communicate with your physicians, nurses and other caregivers to resolve your questions and concerns. Paoli Hospital wants you and your family to feel comfortable raising questions, concerns, complaints or other issues.
