Dr. Baldwin, who has served as division chief since 2004, will step down in the late spring/early summer of 2025 and will retire from the faculty in June 2026, according to a Dec. 18 news release. 

In addition to serving as division chief, Dr. Baldwin helped launch the Pediatric Heart Institute at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, where he has served as co-director since its founding. 

Under Dr. Baldwin’s leadership, the pediatric cardiology division more than tripled the number of pediatric heart patients the division cares for. 

VUMC will conduct a national search to identify a successor for Dr. Baldwin, the release said.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
