Director’s Reflections: National Black History Month

February 21, 2020

What does black history mean for our university, our school and our department? The Johns Hopkins Hospital was founded in 1889 on a then unusual premise that care would be provided “without regard to sex, age or color.”  This is a great part of our history, but, in fact, race played major and complex roles in our history to date. Desegregation […]

Director’s Reflections: Celebrating Five Years of Medicine Matters

November 1, 2019

Soon after I began as director of the Department of Medicine, I recognized the need for an enhanced platform for sharing information with the more than 5,000 DOM employees across multiple locations.
