Optum, a leading organization that partners with payors, providers and consumers to improve the quality and delivery of healthcare, has named The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia a Center of Excellence for Congenital Heart Disease. CHOP is one of only 18 centers nationwide to achieve this distinguished designation.
