Johns Hopkins Medicine needs its own article - or, at least, a redirect here. I can't write it anymore, as a chronically unregistered user, so somebody else should get on that. (JHM, incidentally, is the relatively new organization encompassing the hospital, the School of Medicine, and various other smaller entities like Johns Hopkins International.) 195.33.207.23 14:36, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, this article is itself rather pathetic, don't you think? Not even a pretty picture of the Dome? Hopkins is described in the first paragraph as one of the world's most important hospital, so where's the proverbial beef? 195.33.207.23 14:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
I've added a picture of the Dome. Antelan 06:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

Why can't I post this: http://adventuresincardiology.wordpress.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.26.130.129 (talk) 11:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Because blogs are generally not considered reliable sources. --Hnsampat (talk) 15:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Where are all the references for this article? I can only find the one in the first paragraph. Considering all the quotes and facts here, there should be considerably more, don't you think? ScreaminEagle 20:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I added references for two of the claims. We're going to need a lot more to make this a legitimate article, though. I'll contribute when possible. --Antelan 06:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hospital versus School of Medicine

I agree that the article as is conflates the history of the hospital with that of the school of medicine. I think of "Johns Hopkins Medicine" as more a "brand' for marketing rather than an institution. There are still two entities: the University School of Medicine and the Hospital which have their own CEO equivalents, the Dean of the School of Medicine and the President of the Hospital, even the ID badges differ depending whether one is an employee of the Hospital or the University. I suggest not having a "Johns Hopkins Medicine" entry, except perhaps as a re-direct to entries for the hospital and school of medicine. Fmondimore 01:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that no article should exist for "Johns Hopkins Medicine." Instead, there should be an article for the following:
• Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (probably a stub)
• Johns Hopkins Hospital
• Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

[edit] Clean-Up

This page needs to be cleaned up. The text is choppy and parts of it don't flow well. The paragraphs are too small - often one sentence long. I'll work on this when I get a chance, and other interested people should feel free to do so. --Antelan 23:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] First Women Head of Surgery

I heard they now have the first women head of surgery at a major hospital. Should this be put in? 67.162.76.82 05:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

It's noteworthy if true. She's definitely the first chief of surgery at Hopkins, but I don't know if she is the first at any major hospital. If someone has sources, let's put that in the article, since it would definitely be noteworthy. Antelan talk 01:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Towards/Toward edit

An anonymous editor changed "towards" to "toward", and I wanted to post here for posterity that both are equivalent, although their prevalence is different in different countries (toward is more common in the US). I'm not going to revert the change, but I wanted to note it. --Antelan talk 20:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio issues

I had to remove substantial portions of this article, as they were copied verbatim from the Hopkins Medicine website, in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. I've also added an "expand" tag to the top of the article, as I feel that the article should contain more information than just history and ranking. --Hnsampat (talk) 15:22, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
