Neonatology at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center has a rich history, dating back to the former Baltimore City Hospitals when it started one of the first neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in the city. In 1975, Johns Hopkins Bayview became the birthplace of the first Neonatal Transport team in the state of Maryland, run by the physicians with the Maryland State Police.
Today, we provide comprehensive care for premature infants and high-risk term or near-term infants. We serve a diverse patient population from Baltimore City and Baltimore County, as well as mothers and babies referred to Hopkins Bayview from across Maryland, West Virginia and southern Pennsylvania.
In February 2007, the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services (MIEMSS) completed its review of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Labor & Delivery service at Hopkins Bayview. The NICU Level IIIb status was confirmed and Johns Hopkins Bayview's designation as a Perinatal Referral Center was granted for the full five-year period allowed.
In July 2007, neonatology was merged with the Department of Pediatrics, under newly appointed chair, Jonathan Ellen, M.D. The merge strengthens the faculty, resources and focus of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Bayview.
