Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Advocare Announce Affiliation Agreement

09/18/2024 - Philadelphia, PA and Marlton, NJ, September 18, 2024  – Today, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Advocare announced an affiliation agreement to advance exceptional pediatric care, health outcomes and overall wellness in the communities they serve.

The affiliation aims to optimize both organizations’ extensive skills, experience, and resources to ensure that children in the region can access the highest-quality, cost-effective care that best serves their medical needs. Pediatricians from CHOP and Advocare have historically collaborated across numerous specialty areas in the care of local families.

“We’re looking forward to an alliance that will enhance collaboration between our two organizations and enable us to continue providing best-in-class care for the patient families in our communities,” said Steve Docimo, MD, Executive Vice President, Business Development and Strategy at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

CHOP and Advocare remain separate entities. As part of the new affiliation, the organizations will form joint subcommittees focused on clinical care, communications and operations, education and training, research and innovation, and value-based care designed to advance exceptional care to the children they serve.

“Over 25 years ago, Advocare was formed by combining several exceptional pediatric practices to create an integrated medical group to improve and innovate healthcare for children. We are excited to strengthen our relationship with CHOP to enhance the high-quality care provided to children and the families we serve in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,” said Howard Orel, MD, President and CEO of Advocare.
