History

Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins originated in 1912 when the original Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children opened. The new hospital was set to be named after Baltimore resident Harriet Lane Johnston after she donated $400,000 in 1903 to establish the home as a memorial to her two sons who had died in childhood. After a few years of building, the building opened in October 1912. Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children was the first children's clinic in the United States that was associated with a medical school. [9]

At the time, most children were seen in the same facilities as adults, and pediatrics was just a subspecialty of general medicine. The new care model that Johns Hopkins pioneered became the industry standard for pediatrics in the United States. [10] Eventually treating over 60,000 children a year, the Harriet Lane Home became a pioneer treatment, teaching, and research clinic, and the first to have subspecialties in pediatrics as created by Edwards A. Park.

From 1930 to 1963 Helen Taussig, who helped to develop the blue baby operation, headed the pediatric cardiac clinic. Child psychiatrist Leo Kanner did studies of autistic children. Lawson Wilkins established an endocrine clinic that developed procedures used universally to treat children with certain glandular disorders, including dwarfism. John E. Bordley and William G. Hardy made strides in detecting hearing impairments in very young children. [11]

In 1964, the Children's Medical & Surgical Center (CMSC) opened on the Johns Hopkins campus to better provide patient care to their pediatric patients. The addition meant that for the first time, parents were able to sleep in the same room as their children, a rare occurrence for children's hospitals at the time. After the new Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center opened in 2012, the CMSC was decommissioned and turned into a laboratory space and space to simulate a hospital environment for trainees. [12] [13] Plans have also been made to construct a new facade and renovate the CMSC to house more research programs. [14]

In May 2012, the Johns Hopkins Hospital opened two new towers as part of a major campus redevelopment effort. The opening of the new $1.1 billion Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center tower and the new adult Sheikh Zayed Tower marked the high point of this effort. The tower provides 560,000 square feet [15] and many new modern amenities. The new towers featured colorful exteriors designed by artist Spencer Finch, [16] [17] and general design from the design firm, Perkins and Will. [18] [19]

Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center got its name when former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $120 million to the construction of the new children's tower. [20] [21] [22]

About

The hospital has an American Academy of Pediatrics verified level IV neonatal intensive care unit [23] that has a capacity of 45 bassinets. The hospital has a 40-bed pediatric intensive care unit for critical pediatric patients age 0-21. [24] The hospital also features 10 operating rooms. [4]

The hospital offers a few different units for infants, children, teens, and young adults age 0-21 based on age or diagnosis. [29]

Firsts

The first ever successful separation of conjoined twins occurred at the hospital on September 7, 1987. The twins, Patrick and Benjamin Binder, were the first twins to be successfully separated in the world. The separation was led by neurosurgeon Ben Carson of Baltimore, Maryland. Carson was able to prepare by studying a three-dimensional physical model of the twins' anatomy. He described this separation as the first of its kind, with 23 similar attempted separations ending in the death of one or both twins. [30] [31]
