Jana Elliker, DO

Bio

After completing her residency and fellowship training at the University of Maryland & Sheppard Pratt Psychiatry Program, Dr. Elliker is excited to be back in her hometown. Born and raised in a Navy family, Dr. Elliker spent much of her childhood in Hampton Roads and is familiar with what it means to be from "the 757.” She has also enjoyed living in other parts of the country including San Diego, Memphis, Northern VA, and most recently, Baltimore. Living in these areas sparked a desire to learn about how different backgrounds and experiences shape people, an interest that drew her to psychiatry.

Since 2023, Dr. Elliker has served as the Associate Medical Director of the Psychiatry Psychology Consultation Liaison team in the main hospital. In this role she has worked closely with Psychology, Nursing, Hospitalists, and other specialty divisions to develop programming on 7D, the Integrated Health Unit at CHKD. This unit provides enhanced care and support during inpatient hospital admissions to children with complex medical needs.

Outside of work, Dr. Elliker enjoys going on adventures with her husband and 2 boys. This ranges from shows at the Chrysler museum or Scope, walks through the city, or enjoying one of the many waterfront views the area has to offer.
