About Hopkins
Johns Hopkins International (JHI) is the organization within Johns Hopkins Medicine charged with advancing the Johns Hopkins mission of teaching, research and patient care internationally. In addition to coordinating care for international patients, JHI provides services in healthcare consulting and education programs for the international medical community.
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 new facilities of the School of Nursing. Other undergraduate and graduate divisions of The Johns Hopkins University are located in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., as well as overseas campuses in Bologna, Italy, and Nanjing, China.
In 40 buildings on the medical campus are patient rooms, operating rooms, specialty clinics, classrooms, libraries, research laboratories, and offices for the more than 15,000 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 (1,025 beds) and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center (331 beds) have nearly 56,000 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 Outpatient Center, a modern eight-story building directly across the street from Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Ross Research Building on Monument and Rutland Streets 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, the weekly news magazine which each year conducts a 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, and Johns Hopkins at Greenspring Station, another outpatient facility located north of downtown Baltimore. Depending on where your doctor practices, you may receive care at one or more of these Johns Hopkins facilities.
Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center
Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center is a 331-bed teaching hospital and long-term care facility staffed by doctors who are also faculty of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Bayview is on a 130-acre complex located about 10 km east of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Also located there are the Burn Center, the Geriatrics Center, the Gastrointestinal Motility and Digestive Diseases Center, the Asthma and Allergy Center, and other renowned research and patient care facilities.
Johns Hopkins at Greenspring Station
Johns Hopkins at Greenspring Station is a modern outpatient facility located 16 km north of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the beautiful setting of suburban North Baltimore. Two Johns Hopkins Pavilions are staffed by Johns Hopkins physicians, nurses, and technicians. This facility offers primary care and extensive health services by specialists in internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, oncology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery and other specialties, as well as radiology and laboratory services.
