The Pennsylvania based CHOP satellites are located in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The CHOP King of Prussia Hospital opened in January 2022 and is 45 minutes from the main campus. The goal of the hospital is to increase access for patients to high quality care by CHOP providers convenient to their home. Additional child neurologists will allow for expansion of inpatient neurologic care and a 4-bed epilepsy monitoring unit in this new community hospital.
