Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) uses state-of-the-art technology to provide comprehensive diagnostic and testing services to clinicians, hospitals and outside laboratories.
Children at CHOP and across the CHOP Care Network – with all types of diseases – benefit from our collaboration with your child's treating physician to find accurate diagnoses and perform lab tests that ensure their treatment plan is working.
We continue to add to our extensive menu of available tests and build upon new discoveries to advance the diagnosis and care of children with both common and rare diseases.
Our expertise is available to other hospitals and laboratories that don't have our advanced capabilities. In this way, our work helps children everywhere lead healthier lives.
