Pediatric Hospital Medicine
When a child is sick or injured and needs to be admitted to the hospital, doctors called pediatric hospitalists are key members of their care team. At Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), pediatric hospitalists provide care to children hospitalized at both our Philadelphia and King of Prussia campuses. Our team is made up of more than 100 attending physicians, all trained in pediatrics. Under our care, we will evaluate your child every day, discuss labs and imaging, and create a care plan specific to your child.
How we serve you
In additional to general pediatric services, we provide coordinated care for children who are frequently hospitalized for complex conditions, have underlying disorders requiring multidisciplinary care, or are hospitalized briefly for observation. We co-manage the care of patients who need surgery, sedation or behavioral health resources. Groups we partner closely with include:
Conditions we treat
We provide treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions, such as breathing problems and infections. If your child’s condition requires the help of subspecialists, we coordinate care with other pediatric experts.
Meet your team
Our team will give your child the highest level of care. We also partner with social workers, nutritionists, anesthesiologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists and child life specialists to support hospitalized children and their families.
