The Johns Hopkins Hospital
A guy named Johns Hopkins went from grocer to philanthropist, laying out a plan to utilize his money to build a hospital that would care for anybody, regardless of gender, age, or race. The Johns Hopkins Hospital was founded in 1889, and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine followed four years later. Medical education and patient care entered a new era as a result of these developments.
On the World's Best Hospitals list, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD is ranked No. 5. It is nationally ranked in 15 adult and 10 pediatric specialties, and 15 adult treatments and conditions recognized as high performing. It is a medical and surgical center that serves the general public.
Those exploring brain science, cell engineering, diabetes, and genetic medicine are among Hopkins' research institutes. Hopkins is credited with many medical firsts, including the development of renal dialysis, the isolation and crystallization of insulin, and the invention of the rechargeable, the implantable pacemaker.
