Redecorated GVH Pediatric Unit

Operating the region’s only Pediatrics Unit, our staff combines outstanding technical skills with devotion and compassion to ensure young patients’ safety and comfort. We provide high-quality comprehensive and personalized care with an emphasis on prevention and education. Our pediatric surgery includes general surgery as well as ear, nose and throat surgery.

Grand View Hospital, in conjunction with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), has established the CHOP Connection—an innovative program providing an enhanced level of inpatient pediatric care and outpatient pediatric specialty services, such as cardiology. The CHOP Cardiac Clinic is offered the first and third Friday of each month. CHOP pediatricians are in constant communication with the child’s primary pediatrician or family practitioner. CHOP physicians are at Grand View Hospital at all times. Pediatricians at the hospital also have the advantage of phone consultations with pediatric specialists at CHOP.
