Maria D. Latham, MD

Maria Latham is a neonatologist at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. She has a special interest in neonates with congenital heart disease and neonatal hemodynamics.

Through a collaboration between the Division of Neonatology and the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Dr. Latham has assumed a faculty role at the Blalock-Taussig-Thomas Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center. In this role, she supports neonatal-perinatal cardiac coordination through her work with the multidisciplinary high-risk delivery program, prenatal counseling and perinatal delivery planning. She is building a formal program that seeks to enhance collaboration between the neonatal intensive care unit and the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) and to improve neonatal care through protocol development and unit education between these specialties and across these care areas.

Dr. Latham earned her Doctor of Medicine degree at George Washington University, followed by a pediatrics residency at Johns Hopkins. After her residency, she was a hospitalist in the newly created PCICU at the Heart Center, and then completed a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship at Johns Hopkins.
