November 30, 2005 marks the 130th anniversary for St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.

See how we're celebrating!

A passion for great medicine, every day.

That's the message St. Christopher's Hospital for Children is celebrating as it approaches its 130th anniversary. Over the years, St. Christopher's has treated thousands of children with a passion for great medicine that has been the promise we've made to each and every one of them.

It's a passion you see in our physicians' commitment to healing. In the breakthroughs that emerge from our clinical research. In the advanced treatments that bring renewed hope to so many. In the way medical expertise and human caring co-exist in our staff members.

There's comfort in knowing that the same hospital that was there for your family in generations past is here for your children today. A history like this is something to celebrate. With passion.

And that's exactly what the physicians and staff are doing at St. Christopher's. Celebrating.
