Drexel University College of Medicine is privileged to have St. Christopher’s Hospital as the provider of its pediatric care. St. Christopher’s was recently recognized as one of the country’s top pediatric medical centers in the Best Hospitals issue of U.S. News & World Report. Families from the Delaware Valley and beyond can turn to St. Christopher's for its dedicated staff, advanced technology and specialized services to help their children with health problems as well as accessing services designed to help their children stay healthy.

Some of St. Christopher's specialized programs include its pediatric Burn Center, a Cystic Fibrosis Center, and Neonatal/Perinatal Intensive Care Unit. St. Christopher's Hospital for Children provides a wide range of pediatric medical, surgical and other specialty care. Because children have different health care needs than adults do, St. Christopher's is staffed by physicians who have concentrated on studying and then practicing just one area of medicine from a pediatric perspective. Our physicians are board-certified in pediatrics or other pediatric subspecialties, such as surgery, anesthesia and critical care or psychiatry.

Another additional component of our comprehensive pediatric care is the critical role played by nursing. Each member of the hospital's nursing staff is a highly skilled, compassionate individual dedicated to providing a child with the best possible care during his or her stay at St. Christopher's. Many members of the nursing staff are master's level clinical specialists who counsel, teach, conduct research and consult on complex care issues.

St. Christopher's works to meet a child's non-medical needs as well. Our wide-ranging support staff includes medical social workers, family and patient relations representatives; physical, respiratory, occupational and child life therapists; educators; nutritionists, language interpreters, and chaplains.
