This website is a secondary source. it was written by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. this website helped me find out the history of the hospital and the founder. The article explained how Francis West Lewis, MD came up with the idea of opening the nations first Children's hospital. This hospital was opened for children who were sick because most childhood illnesses were treated at home because infants and children admitted to adult hospitals often died due to cross-infection or neglect. This hospital was founded in 1855. This website could be viewed by people who are during research and people who are looking for physicians, health information, etc

This article is a secondary source, it was written by Paul A. Offit, MD. By reading this website article, I learned that the vaccine education center sponsored from C.H.O.P. This special center impacted society in a major way because it gives parents information about vaccines they should look into for their children. It explains that an a adult or parent can walk in and get assistance to what vaccines are necessary, how they work, and are they safe. The Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia specifically targets the Children around the world and so does the Vaccine Education Center. This article was targeted for Parents who have young children and kids under the age of 18. I have also learned that The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the nation's first children's hospital, has been a center of vaccine research and education for more than 125 years. For example, the rota virus vaccine, a vaccine that prevents the most common cause of vomiting and diarrhea in children, was developed at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology. Vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations before. For most Americans today, vaccines are a routine part of health care.

This article was mainly about The best top ten hospitals in America and how their surgeons perform on newborn babies. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia was in the top ten list. US News and World Report has made it easier by announcing the ten hospitals that ranked the highest in the entire country. To compile the list, they surveyed pediatricians and reviewed hospital data. The hospitals were examined for their expertise in 10 medical specialties, including cancer treatment, diabetes and other endocrine disorders, digestive disorders, cardiology and heart surgery, kidney disorders, neonatal care, neurology/neurosurgery, orthopedics, respiratory disorders and urology. Out of 168 hospitals, 10 hospitals showed excellence in all 10 specialties.

5.)I read an article on about.com; http://adam.about.com/encyclopedia/Poor-feeding-in-infants.htm. I learned that some infants are not treated the right way when their parents have no idea what to do with the baby. That’s why we have day cares and children development centers for less fortunate children. These are some of the facts I was reading about.
