“Mt. Washington is a special place with a talented team of professionals dedicated to helping their young patients transition to their next phase of development,” said Kevin Sowers, M.S.N., R.N., F.A.A.N., President, Johns Hopkins Health System, EVP, Johns Hopkins Medicine. “We have no doubt that Dr. Klein’s decades of hospital leadership and medical practice will prove to be an asset to our region as MWPH prepares for its second century of service.”

Dr. Klein pursued his undergraduate education at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, graduating cum laude from a six-year BA/MD program. He earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He completed his internship and residency training in pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia before completing a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. He also earned a master’s degree in health services administration from the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor.


Last May, MWPH’s longtime President and CEO Sheldon Stein announced his decision to retire after more than two decades with the organization, becoming the longest-serving leader in the hospital’s 100-year history.
