As the birthplace of pediatric cardiac surgery with the historic "blue baby" operation, Johns Hopkins has been at the forefront of caring for children and adults with congenital heart disease, including those with genetic conditions. Researchers in the division, collaborating with colleagues from throughout Johns Hopkins and across the world, are unraveling the mechanisms of childhood heart disease and developing innovative treatments for these disorders. The Johns Hopkins Hospital strengthened its commitment to pediatric excellence with the opening of The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center in 2012, including 205 beds, state-of-the-art cardiac operating rooms, pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, cardiac catheterization suites and cardiac imaging facilities, and a hybrid catheterization suite with cardiopulmonary bypass capacity is under construction.
