CHOP in the Community
At The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, we believe community plays an important role in the lives of children. To promote children’s health and support the mission of our pediatric network, we involve the community in many activities, including:
- Special projects with community groups, which allow us to take a leadership role and to be at the forefront of issues that affect children and families
- Collaboration with external associations to promote the importance of high quality pediatric healthcare
- Annual events to facilitate networking with groups and individuals who are advocates for children and families
- Community education and advertising to inform consumers about pediatric medical care and healthcare services for children
