Bryn Mawr Hospital, part of Main Line Health,celebrated yesterday the official ribbon cutting of the new 256,418-square-foot, eight floor patient pavilion, which will offer patients and families a more spacious, enhanced design that is focused on patient comfort and healing. The new pavilion boasts a new labor and delivery unit, maternity unit, critical care units, as well as 12 fully-equipped, state-of-the-art operating rooms.

“As the largest investment and most significant facility improvement in our campus’ history, and the second largest in Main Line Health’s history, this is a tremendous moment for our organization and a fantastic way to cap off the celebration of Bryn Mawr Hospital’s 125th year as a premier destination for care in the Philadelphia region,” says Andrea Gilbert, President, Bryn Mawr Hospital. “I want to express my deepest and most sincere thanks to the every member of the team who was involved in the conception, design, construction and operation of this new building. Together, we are ensuring that Bryn Mawr Hospital will be here to provide exceptional care for generations to come.”

A decade in the making, the Bryn Mawr Hospital patient pavilion is part of the hospital’s modernization project, which is helping to raise the bar for patient rooms across the entire campus. Double occupancy rooms have all been converted to private rooms and many inpatient areas of the existing hospital have been renovated and modernized.

With the addition of this incredible pavilion, and the healing environment within it, this facility now rivals the advanced, high-quality care that is delivered by our team within these walls each day.”
