Rising to the Challenge

Welcome to the Heart of the Matter: Cardiology Conversations at CHOP. In this podcast, made by and for the Cardiac Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, we interview members of our community about our history, innovative research, clinical programs and advocacy within our institution.

In this episode of Heart of the Matter, host Felina Mille turns the tables on longtime Cardiac Center leader Meryl Cohen, exploring the experiences, mentors, and pivotal moments that shaped her career. Meryl reflects on the evolution of the Cardiac Center, her passion for education and mentorship, and the lessons she’s learned about leadership, resilience, and balancing family with a fulfilling academic career.
