Clinical Facilities

All of our efforts are possible because of the nine-story, 178-bed center devoted to psychiatry and the neurosciences. All of the activities of the clinical neurosciences are housed within this building. Neurology, neurosurgery and otolaryngology/head and neck surgery share 80 medical/surgical beds. There is a 22-bed intensive care unit staffed by neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroanesthesiology/critical care. A specialized epilepsy monitoring unit is also located in the facility. The operating rooms are in proximity to both the intesive care units and the wards. The specialized care teams devoted to neurology, neurosurgery, and critical care include nursing, both on the floors and in the operating rooms, neuroanesthesiology, neuroradiology, neurological electrophysiology, a cerebrovsacular diagnostic laboratory, a neuropsychiatric service and a center for multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment of pain. The Meyer building provides integration of all these activities. Call rooms are centrally located and there is a neuroscience branch of the Welch Medical Library on the eighth floor.

An affiliated hospital, The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, is an acute patient care facility with state-of-the-art operating rooms and intensive care units where residents spend a portion of their residency training. The Pediatric Neurosurgery Service, a division of the Department of Neurosurgery, is headquarted in the Children's Medical and Surgical Center in the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
