Endowed Chairs

Endowed Chairs

Since 1988, the endowed chair program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has been an essential part of our ability to attract and retain the most talented physicians and researchers. One of the highest scientific and academic honors, an endowed chair also represents one of the most meaningful and permanent forms of philanthropy (as of March 9, 2023).
