The thought of changing your child's pediatric urology care to an adult provider can be stressful. We are here for you. Our goal at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is to ease this transition. We will prepare you and your child for the move to adult medical care to help lessen the anxiety either of you may feel. We collaborate with specialists at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) to make sure the transition to their adult facilities is as smooth as possible. This ensures the best outcome for your child.

How we serve you

Your child's team in the Urology Transitional Care Program works to create the best, most personalized transition plan. We are also involved in the development of new ways to improve care coordination and long-term quality of life for all patients.

Conditions we treat

Many adult urologists have little training in how to manage congenital conditions (complex conditions that a child has since birth). This can leave patients with fragmented care. We focus on improving care coordination.
