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.
