Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is pleased to announce that the physicians and staff of Children’s Heart Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania have joined Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and will now be offering services through the Cardiac Center at CHOP.

 “We are excited to bring this practice into the CHOP Care Network,” said Joseph Rossano, MD, Chief of Cardiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “We have a strong history of working with this skilled care team, and many of their patients, and we look forward to offering CHOP’s excellent cardiology care more directly in the Allentown area.”
