Today, we joined @PennMedicine for a White Coats for Black Lives observance. Children are the future & all are entitled to a safe, healthy life where social & racial inequities are intolerable, & one day, obsolete. As champions for kids, we won't rest until this is achieved.
Our patient Emily Whitehead is celebrating a major milestone today: 10 years cancer free! She was the first pediatric patient in the world to receive CAR T-cell therapy, in collaboration w/ our partners at @PennMedicine. Catch her on the @TODAYshow tomorrow morning!
We're proud to announce @usnews has designated the Dept. of Pediatrics at the @UofPenn's Perelman School of Medicine, located at CHOP, as the #1 dept. of peds in the country! Congrats to our faculty, staff & trainees who strive to make our dept. a special place to work & learn.
Our partners @Wawa & @Eagles brought smiles to many of our patients today! Former Eagle @BrentCelek, Eagles President Don Smolenski, @EaglesCheer, Swoop & Wawa associates volunteered their time on the Wawa Coffee & Care Cart serving free beverages in our Buerger Center.
Thank you to @Eagles quarterback, @JalenHurts, for visiting our patients and their families, bringing joy and cheer this holiday season. Their reactions were priceless and moments created will last a lifetime. 💚 #FlyEaglesFly#CHOPHolidayMoments
It was all treats & no tricks in our NICU! We had everything from a “crazy cat lady” to a pumpkin & even a sandwich (or as we say in Philadelphia, a “hoagie”!) The creativity of our parents & staff never ceases to amaze us! Have a happy, safe Halloween! #NICUHalloween#Halloween
.@Harry_Styles thank you for choosing our Hospital as one of the charities of choice for your tour stop in Philadelphia! We hope you visit us soon!
