The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has opened its latest specialty care center in Abington, a multidisciplinary facility that will serve residents of Montgomery County, Bucks County and Northeast Philadelphia.
Located at the intersection of Old York and Susquehanna roads, the facility spans 37,000 square feet and features 28 exam rooms and services in audiology, speech therapy, radiology and EEG.
Outpatient services initially will include cardiology, orthopedics, ENT, neurology, pulmonology, endocrinology and diabetes, and gastroenterology and nutrition.
Starting this summer, an urgent care center will offer after-hours and weekend care for children with mild or moderate illnesses and injuries.
