The Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit (SDU) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides comprehensive care in one location for mothers carrying a baby with a known birth defect, extending care to the unborn patient.

The Garbose Family SDU was the first birthing unit of its kind, designed specifically to meet the special needs of families expecting a baby with a prenatally diagnosed birth defect. Babies born here will either undergo fetal surgery to treat the birth defect before birth or need immediate specialized care or surgery soon after birth. Delivering in a top children's hospital provides access to highly specialized care from the moment the baby is born.
