Having a baby that needs intensive care is incredibly difficult. Your life may seem like it's been turned upside down. We are here for you at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Our Neonatology team cares for very sick babies and those born early. We provide expert monitoring and care around the clock for all our patients. We help babies with many different serious illnesses. As part of one of the top children's hospitals in the United States, we can easily connect our patients to any other kind of medical help they might need, and we can perform all sorts of specialized surgeries for babies. In addition to our Philadelphia and King of Prussia inpatient locations, our neonatologists work at hospitals in the CHOP Care Network.
