About Hopkins
Johns Hopkins Medical Campus
The Johns Hopkins Medical Campus comprises a 44-acre complex
of buildings located on the historic Baltimore site designated
by founder Johns Hopkins in his will in 1873. The Johns Hopkins
Hospital opened in 1889, followed four years later by the
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The medical campus
also houses the country's first and largest School of Public
Health and the School of Nursing. Johns Hopkins Medicine also
has clinical, research and educational facilities in Singapore.
In 40 buildings on the medical campus in Baltimore are patient
rooms, operating rooms, specialty clinics, classrooms, libraries,
research laboratories, and offices for the more than 20,000
doctors, nurses, researchers, students, employees, and volunteers
who work or study here. Among them are recipients of the Nobel
Prize and other major awards in science and medicine.
Each year, Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview
Medical Center have nearly 60,000 inpatient admissions, while
their 2,400 physicians, who are faculty members of the Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine, receive about 1 million outpatient
visits. Many of these patients come to the Johns Hopkins Outpatient
Center, a modern eight-story building directly across the
street from Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Ross Research Building
contains research laboratories of the School of Medicine,
which receives more government research funds than any other
medical school in the United States. Johns Hopkins Hospital
has been named the #1 hospital in the United States for the
past 16 years by U.S. News & World Report , a weekly news
magazine that conducts an annual survey of "The Best Hospitals in America."
One of the landmarks of the Baltimore skyline is the beautiful
Victorian dome of the original Johns Hopkins Hospital building,
now the Billings Administration building, which can be seen
from many parts of the city. The Hopkins dome is the visual
anchor for a medical complex that has been and remains a pioneer
in the field of medical research, teaching, and patient care.
In addition to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Outpatient
Center, and the School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Medicine
also includes Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center located
east of the main Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, Johns Hopkins
at Greenspring Station, Johns Hopkins at White Marsh, and
Howard County General Hospital. Depending on where your Hopkins
doctor practices, you may receive care at one or more of these Johns Hopkins facilities.
