Award recognizes a researcher who has translated a proof-of-concept study to widespread clinical practice.

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and The Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA) have entered into a letter of agreement to explore mutual intent for educational collaborations. The relationship, announced last week, will enhance clinical knowledge and skills that will lead to improved health outcomes for pediatric patients in Panama.

Established in 2015, the Evan Lindberg Neuroblastoma Research Scholars Program supports exceptional early-career scientists at CHOP who are dedicated to finding a cure for neuroblastoma.

CHOP researchers participated in clinical trial that led to approval of Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV), which allows for valve replacement without open-heart surgery.

Sometimes rare and super rare genetic conditions occur within the same child. That’s the case for Turner syndrome, which has an incidence rate of about 1 in 2,500 female births, and congenital hyperinsulinism, which happens about once in 50,000 births.

Last fall, Leela Morrow, PsyD, joined the team at the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, adding another service to the comprehensive program.

Our team offers a wide array of treatment options and resources to support families who turn to us for expert care when expecting a baby with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

A physiologically based approach to umbilical cord clamping for infants with CDH may smooth the postnatal transition and prevent acidosis and hypoxemia.

It is well known that having a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit is a highly stressful experience for parents, and rates of parental anxiety and depression are routinely shown to be higher than for parents in the general population.

CHOP's specialized Pulmonary Hypoplasia Program provides ongoing developmental and medical assessments from infancy through adolescence, with the goal of looking beyond short-term surgical survival and providing long-term clinical care to improve quality of life.
