Allergy Program
The Allergy Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for children with allergic diseases and asthma.
Whether your child was admitted to our inpatient service for management of difficult-to-control allergic disorders or came to us for an outpatient evaluation, our goal remains the same. We want to partner with you to provide your child with a thorough assessment, comprehensive care, individualized treatment, and ongoing education and support to improve the quality of their life.
As one of the largest pediatric allergy groups in the region, we care for patients from the Greater Philadelphia region and around the world. Our program has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the World Allergy Organization.
