Last year, the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians launched the Johns Hopkins Medicine Clinical Awards for Physicians and Care Teams to recognize physicians and care teams who provide consistently outstanding patient care throughout all of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
All Johns Hopkins Medicine hospitals and Johns Hopkins Community Physicians facilities selected their six winners after nomination and local committee review. This year’s winners were honored at the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians’ annual meeting on Dec. 6.
