Emergency care

In the moments you need us the most, we’re there — providing expert pediatric care from the emergency departments (ER) of our hospital locations in Philadelphia and King of Prussia.

If your child needs emergency care and our two Emergency Departments aren’t convenient to your location, CHOP pediatricians also staff the ERs at our affiliate hospitals in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.
