A new regional center for child care

[摘要] The new Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, in conjunction with affiliated Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, opened in June of this year, after 15 years in planning and construction. Ground-breaking took place in September 1968, construction began February 1969, and the physical relocation began June 1974.The new children's medical center merits attention as a major example of a new tertiary care facility, serving a tristate region and a university complex, while also rendering primary care through expanded ambulatory and emergency facilities, new transient one-day surgical service, and growing affiliations with health maintenance organizations in the general neighborhood. Regionally, the Hospital serves as a major consultative resource and pediatric referral center for hundreds of Delaware Valley hospitals and physicians.
