(
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) The Pennsylvania Pediatric Medical Device Consortium (PPDC), based at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, announces a partnership with two programs at the University of Pittsburgh. Formerly the Philadelphia Pediatric Medical Device Consortium, the PPDC's new name reflects its statewide reach. This expansion comes on the heels of a five-year, $6 million grant renewal from the Consortium's sponsor, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
