Jennifer Diem Inglis, MSW, LSW, has been a social worker in the Fetal Heart Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) since 2010. During that time, she has offered counseling, education and support to families who face the birth of a baby with a heart defect.

Under her leadership, the committee provides continuing education programs for social workers across the enterprise that meet the state licensing requirements for Pennsylvania licensed social workers.
