Children's Hospital to get $1.7 million grant

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia will receive a $1.7 million federal grant to train pediatric residents, U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D., Pa.) announced Wednesday.

The grant comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under its Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Program, Fattah's office said in a statement.

"These federal resources are critical to CHOP and its mission as one of the world's best children's hospitals," Fattah said. - Inquirer staff
