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)

[edit] References

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
