Physicians should use the phone number below to transfer pediatric patients to Johns Hopkins All Children’s. 

To transfer your pediatric patient to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for immediate or emergency care, please call the Patient Transfer Center at 727-767-7337.

When you call, please be ready to provide:

When you call the Patient Transfer Center, we will:

Transport to our hospital may involve the LifeLine critical care transport team, which includes ground transport, helicopter transport and fixed-wing airplane transport depending on the patient’s needs and location.

Each transport team member has neonatal and pediatric critical care experience as well as additional training in advanced cardio-respiratory support and transport critical care.
