About Johns Hopkins Medicine
A Tradition of Excellence
When the Johns Hopkins Hospital and The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine were established more than a century ago, the founding physicians had a mission: to lead the world in treating disease.
That dream meant bringing together the best minds and the most intrepid researchers for understanding the mechanisms of illness. It meant blazing new trails to remarkable new therapies.
Today, the name Johns Hopkins is synonymous with just that. Our physicians and scientists have perfected procedures once considered impossible, engineered new approaches to cancer and brought about advances in telemedicine and robotic surgery.
Every year since 1991, U.S. News & World Report has ranked The Johns Hopkins Hospital among the very best in the United States.
What We Do Best
Johns Hopkins Medicine carries behind it a wealth of clinical and research knowledge, the fruit of three interwoven pursuits:
We heal. Johns Hopkins excels in the treatment of people with the most complex and puzzling conditions. In the clinic, in the classroom and in the laboratory, our focus is always on the patients.
We discover. Hopkins regularly draws upon the talents of its world-renowned researchers. When discoveries are made, our physicians, scientists and nurses move rapidly to apply their knowledge to care at the patient’s bedside.
We teach. Health care professionals from around the world seek us out for consultation and training on everything from new techniques in transplantation to best practices in patient safety.
