Pulmonary Hypertension Program
Our Pulmonary Hypertension Program is one of very few pediatric programs in North America dedicated to the care and treatment of children with pulmonary hypertension, or high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. We work with families throughout the United States and around the world who are looking for answers, second opinions and advanced treatment options for children with pulmonary hypertension.
At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), your child will be cared for by recognized experts in pediatric pulmonary hypertension. We work closely with our world-leading Division of Pulmonary Medicine, as well as other specialties, to develop a treatment plan for your child based on their unique needs.
