Our Children

There are many ways to measure the success of an institution as expansive and ambitious as The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. But ultimately, for the children who turn to our staff for help, the only measure that matters is what happens to them. Below are some stories about several children who received the gift of childhood from Children's Hospital.
