Arriving at West Penn Hospital

When the big day comes, where you should enter the hospital and where to park depends on whether you’re in labor or having a scheduled delivery (C-section or induced labor).

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.

If you are scheduled for a C-section or induced labor:

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.
• Take the “E” elevators to the 5th floor – Labor and Delivery unit. Use the intercom on the wall for access to the unit.
