Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center (abbreviated JHBMC or Bayview; formerly Francis Scott Key Medical Center and Baltimore City Hospitals) is teaching hospital trauma center, neonatal intensive care unit, geriatrics center, and is home to the Johns Hopkins Burn Center, the only adult burn trauma in Maryland, containing about 420 beds. Located in southeast Baltimore City, Maryland, along Eastern Avenue near Bayview Boulevard, it is part of the Johns Hopkins Health System and named after its close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay. Founded in 1773 as an almshouse, it was relocated several times until its now present location in 1866. In 1925, it transitioned into several municipal hospitals, which transferred ownership to Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1984. History Founded in 1773, the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, is one of the oldest, continuous health care institutions on the East Coast. From its inception as the "Baltimore County and Town Almshouse," for the impoverished, It was initially located half a mile west of the city, however, gradual expansion of the city caused a number of relocations. In 1820, the facility was moved to the Calverton mansion, the recently acquired country home of banker Dennis A. Smith. Calverton was used until 1866, when the institution made its final move to its present location east of the city and changed its name to Bay View Asylum because of its close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay where it housed both the impoverished and mentally ill. During the mid-1880s, William H. Welch, the pathologist of Johns Hopkins, began seeing patients as part of his research, creating the first major connection between the asylum and Johns Hopkins. Its transition to a hospital began in 1925 where it transitioned to an acute care hospital, a chronic care hospital, and a tuberculosis hospital. Renamed Baltimore City Hospitals, the hospitals continued to accept psychiatric patients until those patients were moved to state institutions in the 1930s. In 1984, the City of Baltimore transferred ownership of the long-established Baltimore City Hospitals to The Johns Hopkins Hospital and The Johns Hopkins University, who renamed it, the "Francis Scott Key Medical Center", which name it carried until 1994 when it was changed to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, in efforts to convey its strong connection with Johns Hopkins Medicine. Operations Johns Hopkins Bayview has 426 licensed beds and 45 neonatal beds and is home to one of Maryland's most comprehensive neonatal intensive
