Trauma Center

The Trauma Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center. It was the first trauma center in Pennsylvania to receive this designation, which is the highest available. This designation ensures that children who experience severe and life-threatening injuries will receive expert evaluation, treatment and care at CHOP.

Our Team

Trauma patients frequently experience multiple injuries or serious single system injuries that require very specialized care, so we work closely with many physicians throughout the Hospital and consult with associate trauma directors from multiple disciplines.
