Human care for your little humans
When your child is sick or injured… When the illness you thought was urgent suddenly turns emergent… When your newborn needs specialized attention… you want the best care you can get, as close to home as possible. Board-certified pediatricians, pediatric specialists, neonatologists and advanced practice providers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) work alongside staff at Main Line Health hospitals to provide exceptional care to infants, children and teens in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties.
Care is provided as part of an ongoing affiliation between CHOP and Main Line Health drawing the best from both groups of clinicians—world-class pediatric experts from CHOP and dedicated, local staff who have built long-term relationships with families.
The affiliation between CHOP and Main Line Health brings the best of academic medicine—cutting-edge research, standardized clinical pathways that ensure consistency of care, and innovative quality improvement projects—close to home for families in the Philadelphia suburbs. Together, we elevate the care your child has access to, leading to improved outcomes and a better quality of life for your family.
Pediatric emergency program at Bryn Mawr Hospital
We understand that emergency treatment and admission to the hospital can be frightening for children and parents. When your child needs to go to the Emergency Department (ED), you want to know they'll receive outstanding, timely care delivered by a skilled clinical team. CHOP providers are available in the Bryn Mawr Hospital ED to provide consultation, and are the primary attending physicians in the ED for pediatric patients.
Our pediatric emergency program features:
- Pediatric treatment area and waiting room with child-sized furniture and interactive toys
- Emergency transport when advanced pediatric hospital services are needed
Because caring for children is vastly different than caring for adults, our team of pediatricians, pediatric emergency physicians and pediatric-trained nurses, pediatric pharmacists and pediatric radiologists offer specialized procedures just for kids, such as lower-dose X-rays and appropriate medicine dosages, based on age and weight.
