PHILADELPHIA, PA — Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has expanded its pediatric cardiology network with the opening of a new satellite location in Reading, Pennsylvania, enhancing access to specialized heart care for children with congenital and acquired heart conditions in the region.
The new clinic, located at 5101 Allentown Pike in Temple, will operate on the second Thursday of each month and offer cardiology consultations and non-invasive diagnostic services. These include electrocardiograms (ECGs), Holter monitoring, and echocardiography. The site will be overseen by Dr. Louis Hansrote, a pediatric cardiologist, and supported by the team from CHOP’s Cardiac Center in Allentown.
The expansion reflects CHOP’s continued efforts to bring its nationally recognized pediatric heart care closer to families across Pennsylvania. The hospital’s Cardiac Center is known for its comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating complex heart conditions in children, combining advanced technology with multidisciplinary expertise.
“We are humbled and excited to expand our access and be able to offer CHOP’s world-class pediatric cardiac services in a convenient location for families in the Reading community,” said Dr. Vivek Allada, Medical Director of Outpatient and Community Cardiology at CHOP. “This outpatient clinic, supported by Dr. Hansrote and the entire Allentown team, will allow families who rely on us to get the same incredible heart care closer to home.”
By reducing travel time and easing logistical burdens for families, CHOP aims to deliver high-quality, compassionate care while improving outcomes for young patients with heart disease. The new Reading site joins a growing network of satellite cardiac locations that extend the hospital’s reach beyond its main Philadelphia campus.
