Medical Innovations
Innovation—the introduction of new and better ways of treating patients—has always been at the heart of Johns Hopkins’ mission. From the first Blue Baby Operation in 1944, a landmark in children’s heart surgery, to the more recent discovery of the optimal drug regimens for new HIV patients, we have been solidly at the forefront of medicine.
