Arriving at West Penn Hospital

If you are in labor

If you’re in labor or your doctor tells you to come to the hospital for care (and you’re NOT coming for a scheduled C-section or induced labor):

Enter at the Emergency Department entrance on South Millvale Avenue.
Your partner or driver can drive up to the Emergency Department entrance and help you into the building.
One of our nurses will meet you in the Emergency Department and take you to the Labor and Delivery unit.
Your partner or driver will need to move the vehicle to the parking garage on South Millvale Avenue while you are being admitted.

Enter the Labor and Delivery unit through the main hospital:

Park your car in the parking garage on South Millvale Avenue.
Take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk across the skywalk to the information desk
Proceed down the hallway toward the hospital, following the letter “E” on the walls.
