Pediatric services at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Virtua Health collaborate to provide high-quality newborn care and neonatal intensive care to babies at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, NJ.
Board-certified neonatologists from CHOP work alongside physicians and clinical staff at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital to provide exceptional care to babies as part of an ongoing pediatric alliance. Our team works with families and primary care physicians to ensure every newborn receives the care they need, backed by the resources of CHOP – a world leader in neonatal medicine – and the experience, comfort and convenience provided at a community hospital.
Some of the babies born here each year are born prematurely, experience respiratory problems at birth, or require additional treatment or observation due to other health complications.
For these most vulnerable patients, CHOP clinicians also provide 24/7 care and services to babies in the Special Care Nursery at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, including:
- Comprehensive respiratory and feeding support
- Specialty and multidisciplinary evaluations
- Referrals to specialists as needed

Encouraging Early Literacy: Books for Babies
CHOP's Books for Babies program is designed to begin a child's journey to literacy. “We know that reading with young children results in improved language skills in toddlers and improves school readiness,” says Shelia Knerr, MD, a CHOP Pediatric Hospitalist who led the creation of the program.
