On Dec. 1, the Children’s Center will welcome Stephanie Fuller as chief of Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery and co-director of Blalock-Taussig-Thomas Pediatric Heart Center.

Fuller most recently served as program director of Congenital Cardiothoracic Surgery at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and surgical director of the Philadelphia Adult Congenital Heart Center. Prior to joining CHOP, she rose from the rank of assistant to full professor in clinical surgery at University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. She completed her general surgery residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center, a cardiothoracic surgery residency at George Washington University and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, and a fellowship in congenital cardiothoracic surgery at CHOP.

Noting that she was honored to join the pediatric heart center at Johns Hopkins, Fuller said, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented team to elevate cardiac care throughout the lifespan.”
