Comcast CEO Donates $125 Million to CHOP, Largest Ever Gift

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has received a historic $125 million donation from Comcast CEO Brian Roberts and his wife, Aileen, to construct a new patient tower named Roberts Children’s Health. This 20-story building, slated to open in 2028, will include state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities, over 700 private rooms, and 30 specialized procedure and imaging rooms. The donation will also support the revitalization of CHOP's existing facilities, forming a complex with more than 3 million square feet of hospital space. This contribution is the largest in CHOP's 170-year history and aims to elevate the hospital as a global leader in pediatric care. Aileen and Brian Roberts hope their gift will inspire others to support CHOP's mission of providing cutting-edge medical care and innovation. In addition to enhanced patient care, the new facility will offer various amenities for families, including spaces for meditation, fitness, and mental health support.
