We also continue to be ranked No. 1 in Pennsylvania and in the Mid-Atlantic Region,* which includes New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, West Virginia and Virginia.
CHOP has also been ranked the No. 1 Department of Pediatrics in the country for 11 years in a row by U.S. News & World Report.
Across the ten specialty programs evaluated and ranked by U.S. News, eight CHOP specialties placed in the top five for 2024-25, led by the top-ranked Orthopedic Center and the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes. New this year, the rankings included Pediatric & Adolescent Behavioral Health as a specialty, and CHOP was proud to be recognized among the nation’s top programs.
