Appointment and Procedure Updates

We are updating some appointment and procedure practices to help lessen the spread of the new coronavirus and COVID-19.

Many Johns Hopkins patients may now have the option to have a video appointment with their provider, depending on their healthcare need.
In some cases, appointments or procedures may need to be rescheduled. If there are changes to your care, your provider will contact you.
