- All unclear, vague or illegible orders will be clarified with the ordering provider before acceptance.
Upon arrival, please check-in at the Security counter where you will receive further instructions for registration.

To help your child feel more comfortable while here at Johns Hopkins All Children's, please bring a favorite belonging to the clinic, or an item from home that is part of their daily routine.
