Why Hopkins
Johns Hopkins Hospital has been ranked the #1 hospital in the United States for the past 16 years in U.S. News & World Report's annual Best Hospitals in America Survey. In addition to the overall ranking of hospitals, the survey includes rankings in 17 specialties. Johns Hopkins ranked #1 in ophthalmology, gynecology & obstetrics, otolaryngology, and urology.
Johns Hopkins is at the forefront of medicine, giving hope to patients around the world that their complex health problems will be treated with the most innovative treatments and experienced clinical judgment. A tradition of medical research and discovery enables Johns Hopkins-a non-profit, private academic medical center-to earn more research grants from the U.S. government than any other medical institution.
Currently, more than 20,000 physicians, researchers, students, and professional staff work in what is the nation's most extensive research program covering everything from genetics to eye diseases to cancer. And because all doctors at Johns Hopkins also are required to teach and conduct research, they are true leaders in their fields. This means that as our patient you benefit from this vast research enterprise by being among the first to receive new treatments, often before they are available elsewhere. This gives you more choices about your healthcare, and possibly a speedier road to improved health. By choosing Johns Hopkins, you get the best possible care, and you get it first.
Johns Hopkins continually builds on its rich history of medical achievement by responding to the needs of patients today. Since opening its doors in 1889, it has been a leader in patient care and biomedical research as it trains the next generation of pioneers in medicine. Recent research at Johns Hopkins has led to inventions that are quickly applied to patient care, such as a 3-dimensional CT scan to diagnose complex cancers with earlier and greater accuracy; minimally-invasive procedures that require shorter hospitalization and recovery times; magnetic resonance images that show the heart in motion.
