Philanthropic donations have helped CHOP transform the lives of children worldwide. Here is a glimpse of CHOP’s early philanthropic history.

Philanthropy helped CHOP develop the first cell therapy to receive FDA approval and provide lifesaving treatments to 170 children with ALL, like Paulina.

The Bramans' second $5 million donation will significantly grow the staff of the Center for GI Motility and pioneer a new program to better assist young adults as they move from pediatric to adult care.

Abby and Erin, formerly joined at the head, were separated on June 6, 2017, at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. See how they’re doing months later.

Mary Fabio, MD, is a pediatrician at the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pediatric Care Center who sees patients in CHOP’s Refugee Health Clinic one morning each month. This is a day in her life.

Louis Bell, MD, Chief of the Division of General Pediatrics, shares the latest in medical thinking on an important topic: e-cigarettes — the newest tobacco products.

The Medical Behavioral Unit at CHOP, with its concentrated approach to treating patients with behavioral issues and soothing atmosphere, is meant to reduce anxiety and help patients, like Mary, stay safe while recovering at the Hospital.

The generosity of Founders Society members has made an indelible impact on the Hospital and helped CHOP recently open several state-of-the-art facilities.

Complementary care provided by the Integrative Health Program at CHOP considers the whole child — family, environment, mind, body and soul. It can help reduce stress, speed healing, and in some cases resolve symptoms that aren’t addressed through more conventional therapies.  

The Fostering Health Program has served more than 200 children in its first year, with the goal of helping thousands more children currently in foster care.
