Johns Hopkins Hospital President Redonda Miller, sent the following message to Johns Hopkins Hospital employees and medical staff:
On Aug. 8, we received exciting news that supports what we—the devoted physicians, nurses and staff at The Johns Hopkins Hospital—already knew: that the care we provide is considered by U.S. News & World Report as among the best in the nation.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital was ranked #3 in the nation and #1 in Maryland on U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals list for 2017–2018. In addition, 13 of our specialties ranked among the top 10 in the country, with 10 listed among the top five.
We all know that these types of accomplishments do not occur in a vacuum. Rather, they are the result of the foresight, planning and dedicated efforts of thousands of employees who are committed to ensuring that the care we provide is world-class and who are focused on what is most important: the needs of our patients and their families.
Our new overall ranking—along with the recent news that the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center was ranked #5 on the U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospital honor roll—lands us in a pretty exclusive position. These designations, taken together, make us the nation’s top-ranked hospital combined for both adult and pediatric care.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again and again. I am proud and honored to work with such a talented and engaged team.
But just don’t take it from me, take it from the many patients and families who often write to me with thanks for the remarkable care that they or their loved ones received at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Their letters talk not only about our mastery and skill at diagnosis and treatment, but also about the kindness and respect of our staff.
Each of these stories is a testament to your commitment in providing exceptional care.
Thank you again for all you do for The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the patients and families we serve.
