AAP 2026
At Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), we work to give every child hope for a healthy future.
From life-changing research to leading clinical care, we advocate for and provide the best treatment, both to the children in our backyard and those around the world. Being the first pediatric hospital in the nation is just one of the many firsts we’ve celebrated over the past 165+ years. Together, we'll celebrate even more.
Because our patients deserve breakthroughs. Every day.
