Jeanette Trella

Jeanette is the founder of the Center for Public Health Readiness and Response (CPRR) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). As the Senior Director of CPRR and a pediatric clinical pharmacist, Dr. Trella has developed scalable public health response programs to address emerging public health threats and meet the unique needs of hundreds of thousands of patients. One area of public health concern that Dr. Trella focuses on is the scarcity of substance use disorder treatment resources for adolescents. She is particularly interested in developing prevention and treatment programs for opioid and substance use disorders in adolescents, as well as programs that promote resiliency among youth. 

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is a prominent pediatric healthcare network comprising two free-standing children's hospitals and an extensive ambulatory network serving southeast Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. The CPRR is housed at CHOP and is built upon the framework of the region's HRSA-designated Poison Control Center, which serves a population of nearly 9 million. The CPRR also includes other programs such as the Product Recall and Response Program, the Employee Safety Line, and the Comprehensive Opioid Response and Education (CORE) Program.
