When You Arrive

To support construction of the New Patient Tower, the Main Entrance to the Wood Center and Wood Garage have been permanently closed. Families should park in either the Main Hospital Parking Garage “A Parking” or Buerger Center Parking Garage “B Parking”. Families should follow posted signage from these garages to assist with reaching their destination within the Wood Building. When entering the Wood Center, you will also be greeted by friendly staff who are eager to help you get to the correct location for your child’s appointment. Check-in for most clinics is now on the 2nd floor of the Wood Center, as is the connector to the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care, where many outpatient visits now take place.

 

Reduced Parent, Caregiver and Sibling Entry

At this time, we are still limiting the number of people in our facilities, and all eligible visitors are required to wear a mask at all times. Please read these guidelines before coming to any CHOP location. Learn what you can expect when you visit CHOP during COVID-19.

Travel Advisory
