Johns Hopkins Medicine, based in Baltimore, Maryland, is a globally renowned academic medical center, integrating the operations and services of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with the Johns Hopkins Health System. Established in 1889, it has been at the forefront of medical research, education, and clinical care, and is associated with numerous medical firsts, including the development of renal dialysis and the discovery of the restriction enzyme. The institution is named after philanthropist Johns Hopkins, whose significant bequest established not only the hospital but also the university that bears his name. Johns Hopkins Medicine includes the Johns Hopkins Hospital—frequently ranked as one of the top hospitals in the United States—along with other health care facilities. It is known for its rigorous commitment to research, leading-edge medical treatments, and a comprehensive approach to healthcare education and community service.
