The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has opened its $19.8 million CHOP Specialty Care Center in Plainsboro, N.J., the first of six facilities it plans to open this year, according to an article on the Philadelphia Business Journal website.

• The 12-floor, 700,000-square-foot Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care at its main campus in West Philadelphia.
• A primary care center in South Philadelphia
