(Paoli, PA; June 2006) -- Paoli Hospital's largest expansion project ever is now well under way. In April, we broke ground for our new parking garage, and over the summer months, you will begin to see this building take shape. The new garage will open in February 2007, and we will begin construction of our new patient care building when the garage is completed.

Beginning July 17, 2006, traffic patterns at Paoli Hospital will temporarily change to permit delivery of prefabricated concrete for the parking garage. All traffic will continue to enter the campus via Route 30 or via Industrial Boulevard. However, all traffic must exit the campus via Industrial Boulevard. (See the illustration below for details.) This traffic flow change will be in effect though early Fall 2006.

Paoli Hospital, with the approval of Willistown Township, has installed new stop signs on Industrial Boulevard to help manage the new traffic patterns. Throughout the construction process, direct access to our main entrance and emergency department will be available. Also, our free valet parkiag service remains open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays.

This project will be made possible, in part, through charitable contributions from the community. To support our $15 million campaign, "Building Paoli Hospital. One Story at a Time", please call 610-648-1465 or Click Here to make an online contribution.
