Employee Stories

The excellent, family-centered care that The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia provides to children and their families is only part of our story. You don't have to be on a clinical team delivering treatment to patients to be a partner in their care; every one of CHOP's employees contributes to the Hospital's excellence, from people working behind the scenes in Environmental Services and Maintenance to those on the front lines in the Emergency Department and Security. Listen to some more stories from the Hospital, stories about the compassion shown by our staff every day, in every department, in every interaction with patients and caregivers. When it comes to making a difference in the lives of families at CHOP, we all have a voice.
