ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (PRWEB) September 20, 2018 -- The Johns Hopkins All Children’s Research and Education building officially opened today, making it the largest pediatric research and teaching facility in the region.

The new building will also house the hospital’s institutes, focused on cancer and blood disorders, cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, neonatology and neurosciences.
