The Pediatric Transplant Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) manages some of the most complex pediatric cases, performing 40 to 50 organ transplants annually and exceeding national expected outcomes. We are experts in caring for children of all ages, from the smallest infants through young adults.

Recognized for excellence

The entire Pediatric Transplant Center was named an Institute of Excellence by health insurance provider Aetna. Hospitals recognized in this way have met extensive quality and cost-effectiveness criteria, qualifying them as centers that are recommended to consumers by Aetna.

An approved member of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), our Transplant Center works in collaboration with the local organ procurement organization, the Gift of Life Donor Program.
