Johns Hopkins opened the first building of the Johns Hopkins Health Care & Surgery Center — Green Spring Station in 1994, and since then, the Lutherville location has played a key role in Johns Hopkins Medicine’s strategy to provide quality ambulatory care in a community setting.

The opening of Pavilion III this spring has provided increased access to outpatient clinical services for our patients across the region. To celebrate the opening, JHM and community leaders, providers and staff members recently gathered for a formal dedication and a community health fair.

The dedication of Pavilion III was the culmination of many years of planning. “The addition of Pavilion III supports our strategic objective to make Johns Hopkins Medicine easy,” said Gill Wylie, president of Johns Hopkins Medical Management Corp. “By providing the space we need to grow, we are increasing and improving access to patient-centered care in our communities."

The day after the dedication brought sunshine and a hub of activity during a community health fair at Pavilion III on the Green Spring Station campus. Throughout the day, the steady stream of community members attending the health fair — young and old alike — met Johns Hopkins specialists, received free screenings, participated in tours of the clinical suites in Pavilion III and were energized with a Zumba class.

As Paul B. Rothman, dean of the medical faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, noted during the dedication, “Pavilion III and this campus are a demonstration of Johns Hopkins’ deep commitment to the community. For Johns Hopkins, for our patients in the North Baltimore area, and for our faculty physicians and our partners, this is truly an exciting day — one in which we dedicate this building and campus to the patients for whom we care.”
